Ultimatum
The Ultimatum EP is gilded with string quartets and analog synths, but at its core are four adventurous songs about disaster. Electric guitar takes a backseat to toy keyboards and trashed drum-loops as shuttles crash, lovers drown, and machines take over the Earth. Featuring The Commander Thinks Aloud and Ultimatum. Released in 2005.
Bonus: two live, solo acoustic performances which reveal the naked power of John Roderick’s songs minus the studio finery. Also available on 140-gram vinyl with an additional 4 bonus tracks.
