From bare folk to lo-fi baroque, slow-core alt. country to indie rock, the Athens, Ohio band Southeast Engine has a dark charm that threads their set. Coming To Terms With Gravity offers a warm blend of moody, acoustic-based tunes that wallow in melancholy and often break out into moments of haunting cacophony. They stir deep passions through organic vibrations and subtle sonics, flecked with strings, organ, percussion and other curious elements. The spare production by guitarist Josh Antonuccio, preserves the group`s unity. Adam Remnant`s engaging and emotive voice, sometimes fractured and frail, takes the downbeat material into very tuneful territories. He can be soaring and majestic, with strains of desperation, through some of the more bombastic moments. -- Robinson, Miles Of Music (BW)
