Scrapbooker's new EP opens with "Budd," a track that crosses boundaries, touching down with an effects-driven intro, bouncing off some metallic guitar riffing before leading into a spoken-word breakdown over top of barely contained drum hits, finally finding relief in a punked-out blast of screams and guitars. While the whole EP continually challenges accepted song structres, what makes it all work in a brilliant way is that Scrapbooker can dig itself deep down into some mean grooves that tie the disparate pieces together and keep the band focused on the music.
