A Lull is certainly a change in direction for the three members that make up the band. Nigel Dennis, Mike Brown and Todd Miller all hail from of other rock-centric bands (The Evaluation, The Skies We Built, Ateriavia) but on their debut EP, Ice Cream Bones, they are pulling from a completely different set of influences. It sounds as though the guys have been listening to lots of hip indie bands (Animal Collective) but there is something that works really well for me here. Perhaps it is the succinctness of it all…4 songs in 11 minutes breeds multiple listens. A Lull kind of reminds me of a band like Holopaw. Both have a rustic beauty but A Lull throw on many more layers over the vocals. Ice Cream Bones is a fine teaser for a band that is hard at work on their first LP scheduled for release in early 2010.
