Plexorjet mix raw riffs, tightly wound bass, occasional singsong vocals and strangely placid keys into shifting tempos. They skirt the angular edge of math rock but make it even more jagged.
“City Under Siege” is a lovely stop-start ride through hope and doubt. This will get obvious, but deserved, comparisons to NC’s Polvo and Kansas’ Panel Donor.
