Energy Orchard: “The Pain Killer EP” (Trax)

Yet another ep! It must be the fortnight for ‘em. In spite of the clever refrain “Same as ever/My Pain killer/Is killing me” Energy Orchard are beginning to show dangerous signs. ‘Pain Killer’ is as musically proficient as you could want but it is just a little cold and meaningless. The stadiums of America dictate but there are more important things than that, aren’t there lads?
