Album Review: I the Mighty - Karma Never Sleeps EP

After signing to Equal Vision last summer, California’s I the Mighty have been holed away writing and recording their new EP, "Karma Never Sleeps." Fans of anyone from Thrice to Coheed & Cambria, from Say Anything to Muse will appreciate the musicality of I the Mighty. The EP is a complete knock out, Brent Walsh’s vocals are stunning and it’s a refreshing listen.

Opener "The Dreamer" may have been in the band’s repertoire for a while but is none-the-less a sophisticated and catchy introduction to the record, while "Dancing on A Tightrope" is as arresting as it is musically infallible. However, it is infectious centerpiece, "Cutting Room Floor," that really stands above the rest and has hit written all over it - an intelligent, perfectly poetic masterpiece.

With their latest release the boys easily set themselves high above the swathes of newly signed bands currently trying to break the market as being a band with real talent and genuine potential compared with some of the mediocrity that music fans are subjected to these days.

5/5

"Karma Never Sleeps" is released March 27th through Equal Vision Records.
