What is it with post-rock bands and their long titles? The first track on this EP is called ‘Each of These Innocents On The Street Is Engulfed By A Terror Of Their Own Ordinariness”. Thankfully, its Slint-meets Sonic Youth dynamism means that its actually pretty fantastic. We’d like to write more but have run out of space – something this trio might want to bear in mind when they name future songs.

Never mind terrorism legislation, next time you spy an MP, lobby them on this: bands in the dreaded post-rock bracket shouldn't be allowed songs over six words. Luckily, ctrlaltdelete - apparently no spaces and lower case is the norm – are musically clever enough to allow you to look past outward over-smartness, taking the soaring experimental template and injecting a Lake District twang to it. Carlisle may not be known as a cultural epicentre, but chiming Texan volume exploiters Explosions in the Sky have obviously permeated ears, and while some may argue those inspirations are a little too integral, Mondegreens is a heart-warming, undulating gem. And that's despite a first track entitled Each Of These Innocents On The Street Is Engulfed By A Terror Of Their Own Ordinariness.

Where most of the post-rock intelligentsia value ebb and flow dynamics over actual tunes, the rather geekily named ctrlaltdelete infuse this EP with a lush, melodious heart and soul. The four pieces on offer may follow a familiar blueprint, but they’re instantly inviting, at times even life-affirming. Like ‘Come On Die Young’ – era Mogwai on happy pills (ignoring the fact that Mogwai actually were, bizarrely, taking lots of ecstasy at the time), ctrlaltdelete aim way higher than the bedsit melancholia which often scuppers bands of this ilk; with likeminded bands such as 65daysofstatic enjoying increasing popularity, this bunch certainly deserve similar attention. A highly promising introduction.
