Postcode - the zebrATP EP

Long established Isle of Man band Postcode latest EP of zebracore is very fine indeed. Their first new music since 2010, the EP does all those wonderful alt-rock things like soar, shine and scorch and in plentiful quantities too. "Reds" and "Fairy hill" are glorious journeys through an atmospheric soundscape.

"Pavilion song" turns it up, waves of noise, its just brilliant. It has a retro 90s indie sound but also sounds back up to date. "Envy" is brooding and dangerous, exuding menace and erupting into slabs of guitar destruction. Its just amazing!

"Tregonwell" is sparser, folk-ier, then the previous tracks but also superb. Its a bit low-key but irresistible with it. "Sunfield" is noisy and thrashy, urgent and intense. Its slabs of noise underlie a terrific stomp of a song. Finally "Goodbye Minehead" is a bit of an emotional epic and the perfect way to end the EP.

I love it when you get sent an EP and YOU GET BLOWN AWAY when you listen to it. And i have been by Postcode, utterly fabulous.
