Genre: country-rock

This six song country-rock blast comes courtesy of Cult of Sue Todd,
a quirky group of folks from San Fran. It starts off the spastic but
mediocre pop ditty "X-mas" before picking things up for rockabilly
"Emile." The off-kilter "Burn Tampa" and "Better Things" are probably
the highlights of the record, as they combine a folky country sound
with a sense of inebriated absurdity. The finale, "Foul Fetor," is
also satisfying - it combines dark, somewhat Anomoanon-esque
instrumentation with more cowboy-themed vocals. Overall, this EP is a
solid contribution by Cult of Sue Todd to the annals of modern
country-rock; it may suffer from obscurity (there are simply so many
EPs out there), but it's definitely worth a look.
