This EP serves as a launching pad into the visionary plane of the modern-day barnstormer. Excepter is a synthetic protest band engineered to erase cultural distinctions through polarized confusion. They"re damaged where Black Dice are experimental, and primitive and impulsive where Animal Collective are whimsical. This is full-fledged ambient house, maybe calypso but who"s counting, unafraid of its reggae roots, too. A band to watch.
