The Contortionist - Vessel

     Were I ever to be in some bizarre situation in which under threat of physical violence I'm forced to decide whether I prefer The Contortionist's first disc Exoplanet over their sophomore Intrinsic, or vice verse, I don't know what I'd say.

     One the one hand, Intrinsic is a refinement of what The Contortionist does, an evolutionary step forward, a whole greater than the sum of its parts. On the other hand, Exoplanet has songs like my pick for today. If "Vessel" doesn't make you wish The Contortionist would release a new record already, I don't know what will.
