A Boulder Daily Camera article by Matt Sebastian

Everything Absent or Distorted (A Love Story)
"The Soft Civil War"
(Needlepoint)

There's something irresistibly exuberant about Everything Absent or Distorted's debut EP (or "rock novella," as the band cheekily calls it), almost as if it's riddled with one of those totally intangible, lightning-in-a-bottle qualities that too few acts capture on disc, let alone on the concert stage.

Billing itself less as a band than a collective, the Denver-based septet employs horns, keyboards, rumbling bass, handclaps and chugging electric guitars, not to mention the occasional memorable turn of phrase ("It's too hot for murder/Let's go to the creek instead").

At just 20 minutes long, "The Soft Civil War" is a bounding, almost giddy offering of tunes that portends great things to come for this bunch, and should position Everything Absent or Distorted as a serious challenger to the impeccable Hot IQs in Denver's indie-pop sweepstakes.

Everything Absent or Distorted plays at 8 p.m. Sunday at Denver's Larimer Lounge, 2721 Larimer St. Tickets are $8; call (303) 291-1007 or visit www.larimerlounge.com for more information.
