I'm not sure what to make of this strange little disc from Finnish act
The Mattoid. Armed with a deep, throaty voice and some
very
interesting compositions, this guy has come up with an EP's
worth of really nifty
stuff. I'm not in love with Eternifinity, but listening
to it can be quite enjoyable - from the confronting "hey"s of
"Joy" to the eerily dark "Happiness."
"Little Surfer" and "Blow" are my two favourite songs
on this disc; the dark, layered melodies of the former are perfect
once you've adjusted to them, while the latter has a nice, looser
sound. I really like this record;
it takes some getting used to, but there's plenty to enjoy once you've
grown accustomed to the sound.
