When asked to describe the difference between ECSR's Primary Colours and their self-titled debut, guitarist Mikey Young said it was more '82 than '76. With their third album, Rush To Relax, I don't think Mikey would be able to sum up the difference so easily.
Rush To Relax picks up where Primary Colours left off. The tension and paranoia apparent on that album is again evident on opening track, ‘Anxiety', a terse stomper that employs Brendan's yelp to full effect. From there on in though, it becomes obvious that the band are intent on exploring a more diverse sonic palette. ‘Gentleman' is the closest they've ever come to a ballad. ‘Second Guessing' mines Krautrock territory. And just to prove that they haven't forgotten their punk roots, there's ‘Walked Into A Corner', which gets the job done in 60 seconds flat.
What this record shows is a band so entirely comfortable with their sound that even when they chance their arm at something different, the result is still unmistakeably their own. They're not concerned with outside expectations, and as a result, have produced their most distinct and mature album to date.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
