Chino Moreno:”The six songs people are hearing are just scratching
the surface of the vast collection we’re sitting on,” the frontman told us.
Kerrang: PERMANENT.RADIANT, the band’s first output in eight years, finds them
with creative juice at full flow. Once again, this is music for solitude, for headphones,
for the night. It’s a sound built on atmosphere and vastness, to the point where the actual
songwriting itself is a secondary feature to the depth of sound in which the pair urge
you to take a bath.
TUTV: Thie EP feels/resonates as if Chino Moreno wants to go soft, romantic
and even poppy & dancey at times for a change, away from deaf-tones. It works
now and then for my ears, but overall it’s not really a memorable offering.
