Ego and the Ids
Almost Masons
Self-released

Ego and the Ids have a sublime name and some spooky and scary songs on this EP. "The Silver Key" starts the proceedings with a synth-based tune that brings forth visions of frightening things. "Ophelia I" is a more placid, but still suspenseful proposition. It sees the group play a slow yet lovely song well.

"White Lilies, White Lies" exposes the lies of the Bush administration to a stately tune. They are good at making things like this, which makes me intrigued by their next project, an album about Arthurian myths. That should be good also.

This is a great EP all on its own terms.
