CD Review (Reprinted from Milwaukee's Vital Magazine): With a sound the band itself describes as "tronic groove", Milwaukee's Inn has used calculative strategy and loose jam to create a truly unique sound. Their self titled debut release waffles between coffee house techno and an almost 80s club style, where Depeche Mode-like beats and a Pearl Jam approach toward electric guitar are held together with spatial keyboard. Track after track, the hypnotic mood continues, mimicking a movie soundtrack that features serious scenes taking place in seedy bars. Opening track "Nirvana" sets the tone, melodic and weaving to a perfect fade. The music seems to hold its' own at a predictable clip up to track 7, entitled "Low Resolution." Here the feel seems to modulate towards ambient, and structure is abandoned in track 8, "Gibbous (Beta)," a thirty second musical interlude that could easily be mistaken for the theme from Shaft. The "stand out" track (last on the record), "Trek," features trippy guitar and bass lines winding around grinding saturated vocals for the heaviest, yet most accessible offering overall. The strength of the disc most definitely lies in its' diversity. Middle Eastern influenced lead lines, off kilter melody with catchy, often spooky counter melodies blend with what can be described as fantastic rhythm trackings in a creditable attempt in originality. Step into Inn's Inn for a freshman effort well worth sampling.
