This six song EP serves as a companion of sorts to the full length (Terrific Seasons) that the trio of These Are Powers (featuring ex-Liar Pat Noecker) released just last year and although I haven’t heard that full length, if this EP is any indication, both are worth seeking out. Now Taro Tarot sits somewhere between the howling post-punk of fellow Brooklynites Parts & Labor, the futuristic electro-death marches of Black Dice, and the spastmospheric new wave of Celebration. It moves in fits and starts and marches to the contorted beats and unraveling guitars as it rattles your skull from the inside out. In other words, it is pretty damn cool.
