     Swell have a sound like no other band: you have to hear them to get them
     and to understand that they are not just another electric indie folk group
     or Red House Painters rip off. If anything, listening to Swell for the
     first time is like listening to the Monks or the Sleepers for the first
     time: after awhile, they make more sense than most bands you've ever heard
     before or since. This EP takes one of the best tracks off Swell's finest
     record "41" and adds three more choice nuggets to make it a fine companion
     to the record as well the best introduction to this great band for anyone
     who has never heard them. "Forget About Jesus" (taken from "41") features
     one of the darkest synthesizer lines since Joy Division's "Love Will Tear
     Us Apart". David Freel sings with just a touch of regret in his voice on
     top of acoustic and electric guitars, downplayed bass, and crystal clear
     drums. The next two tracks ("Hell No" and "What I Saw") are both wonderful
     acoustic/electric rock songs with an acid folk bend, both of which would
     have been worthy of inclusion on "41" and would have stood out with the
     best tracks on the record. Why they have been relegated to being EP tracks
     is anyone's guess, but they make this EP that much better. The last track
     ("Forget About Dean") continues along the same path as "41"'s last piece
     ("Lyrics"), with the words to "Forget About Jesus" being read over a
     stripped down mix of the backing track. Haunting and amusing at the same
     time. This EP is a perfect example of what the best of Swell is, and is
     highly reccomended to both new fans and old.
