"A trail of shooting stars/The horses call the storm/Because the air contains the charge," Roderick sings as piano and drums provide spare accompaniment. At the tune's crescendo, after many nearly undecipherable verses, Roderick's target finally comes into focus: "The radio is on/And Houston knows the score/Can you feel it/We're almost home." The rest of the EP doesn't come close--how could it? Folkish and polite, the remaining five cuts reflect petty concerns; almost indecently selfish considering what came before. It's like a boxer trying to stand up after getting knocked out.
