From Iceland — Agent Fresco

This musically flat but well-performed EP sounds a bit too much like twenty other bands I could name to make an impact, but it plays well enough to be memorable. I’ve heard it said that a cliché is only a cliché because it’s full of truth, so I’m going to spit this cliché out and hope you can forgive me for it: this band sounds like they might be able to produce something unique in the future, but they aren’t quite there yet. A bit more inventiveness and variety, and they could easily become something more than the sum of their parts.
