For a band who have been together since March 2008, Fisher King display a chemistry and maturity generally found in the songs of seasoned veterans. Vocalist/guitarist Sam Stephenson has written an EP that may well stand the test of time, as although it deviates from a central style or tone, each track succeeds in its experimentation. Opener, Who You Praying To?, juxtaposes a reggae beat with staccato guitar and Stephenson’s weary-cum-impassioned vocal delivery; while Smellin Roses is a song that exhibits all the emotions and imagery of a late afternoon sunset. Fisher King have delivered an EP of restrained intensity which covers many genres and does them all justice.
