Throughout Shadow Expert you can hear echoes of Slint's Spiderland, the brash clangor of pre/SST Sonic Youth, the tricky time signatures of math rock demigods Battles, and the wonky iridescence of Deerhoof and tUnE/yArDs. Out of nowhere an incredible tour de force of emo tinged math/pop with nods towards Deerhoof and Battles but with the songwriting nous of Women and something emotional tugging at it's core. Pretty stunning.
