“End of the Night” and “I Might Have” aren’t exactly unprecedented for A Place to Bury Strangers, though the production feels punchier, the songs structured beneath the layers of reverb and multi-tracked percussion. The EP has a distinct shape, with the abrasiveness of the first two songs cooling into the tight melodies of the final three.
And in spite of its modest 22-minute length, Hologram never feels like an afterthought.
