"This record is a triumph of the long-play form. In an era when the full-length record is often used as a crutch to rehearse variations on the same generic approach, LAPSE consciously uses this medium to juxtapose volumes, intonations, song structures, and tempos in a whirlwind of precisely articulated confusion. Spastic and claustrophobic drumming gives way to detuned arabesque guitars, gives way to heavy, nod worthy grooves, gives way to truly well sung melodies. This musical approach is deftly mirrored by lyrical content that is ardently uncertain of space or place. It’s reductive to call this a “post-hardcore” or “screamo” record, when it is clearly inspired by the depths of shoegaze, 90s alternative, crust punk, and hardcore; the effect is more moving than any of its constituent parts." - Grant Gosizk
