Excerpt: "Making quirky, structurally complex avant-pop in the style of Menomena or a less ornate Broken Social Scene, local three piece Iretsu manages something quite special—persuaded me to hit repeat after a week spent listening to way too many bands... With so many songs gradually building toward epic heights, it’s refreshing to hear someone actually scale back and let a song breathe for once. Chamber pop can often be pretty heavy stuff, something that you can’t really digest on one listen, but Iretsu has made something immensely listenable. It takes a bit of time to adjust to its world, but once you do, you might never look back."
