The beats carry the tracks well, and I like the various elements going on top. For some reason the bar scene from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me came to me whilst listening to this... and that's a good thing.

TRVSS, “Absence”
I didn’t know what to expect here because the artwork doesn’t tell you much and neither does the band’s page, plus I have no idea what their name is supposed to mean, or how it’s pronounced. But I gotta say, nice work TRVSS. You get yourself 10 tracks of kinda noisey, kinda spazzy durable rock from Pittsburgh with just a little bit of sass (mostly in the vocals, I’ll allow it). There’s a quality to the guitar sound that is very reminiscent of Midwest rockers Call Me Lightning, whom I’m sure no one remembers or cares about, but believe me, that’s A-OK. At their most out-of-control they could have even had a record out on GSL in the late 90’s. And at their most direct it’s chugging along with a good post-hardcore vibe like on “Late Night Monologue”, which shows up later on during the record. Whatever the case, TRVSS get a nod for surprising me with a great sound far off the mark of anything I thought it might be. (trvss.bandcamp.com)
