Sep 11, 2018The shifting, irregular momentum on Render Another Ugly Method is bold and rewarding, with many surprises.
-
Sep 7, 2018Render Another Ugly Method is an album which demands careful listening, almost as it pushes away the listener, inviting interpretation as it rejects it. Often thrilling, it is rarely less than compelling.
