With their debut LP sinking without trace, Wexford's My Invention have taken a decidedly lo-fi approach to the follow-up, and the shift in styles to a leaner, dirtier sound reaps boundless rewards: Americana a la Grandaddy and Pavement, executed with no little panache. The EP's opener 'Jelly Fire' glistens with a mellow melody punctuated by light blotches of electronica. 'Saddest Girl In Powder' switches to darker shades, rampaging guitars illuminated by Justin Cullen's eminently listenable vocal, while 'Alligator Farm' continues an imaginative use of instrumentation without sacrificing melody.
