We Also Create False Promises introduces itself to you with "What You Are In The Dark", which sounds a lot like The Flaming Lips without Wayne Coyne whining about acid and technology. But they waste no time in throwing you for a curve.

Three songs later, "Passionate Gun Love" lays you down for some piano-bottomed foreplay, leading into a guitar-crashing climax. And like a long-dead ghost band found on a dusty field recording, "Flag Is Out" simultaneously spooks you out and makes you smile.

It’s an album of strictly instrumental rock that I typically loathe. But I can’t loathe Character. We Also Create False Promises is a bundle of songs ready for you to make movies to, or just plain get lost in.
