8 out of 10
Title track, "Lo Fat" sounds like something that could be easily used in some TV trailer incorporating a montage of explosion images and CGI wizardry from various American sci-fi series. There's a constant pulsating electronic heartbeat which seems to breathe life to the whole track but it also underlies a very 21st Century brit-rock style, similar to Arctic Monkeys complete with punchy aggressive lyrics that still inexplicably maintain a certain panache.
"Tell You What" follows the same distinct pattern of video game-like synth sounds although there's a very eerie motif in the chorus which will probably creep its way into your subconscious so that when you next dream of being chased by a mutant rabbit with a spider's face THIS will be the music to accompany it as you try to escape. It's all very unnerving but brilliantly so.
"End of the Line" is slightly different from the preceding tracks and has more of an emphasis on the melody taking prominence as opposed to the rhythmic elements and is a bit like Suede meets YourCodeNameIs:Milo. It's hasn't got the same sort of energy as the other tracks to inspire you to get up and dance, it's more straightforward guitar rock but it's in this track you realise just how talented vocalist Sean Strugnell is and how glad SomaHigh fans should be that he decided to quit his degree and pursue a career in music.
