Drowned In Sound Words by Paul Stephen Gettings:

"We Are a Unit is Castrovalva's first LP as a three piece, promoting sometime band artist Leemun Smith up to the mic and perhaps as importantly, from collaborator to visionary. As a two-piece, bassist Anthony Wright and Drummer Daniel Brader played many of the songs here as instrumentals, and it worked; they made a name for themselves as one of the premiere bands of the Leeds houseparty scene, their angular, breakneck grooves packing out sweaty basements wherever they roamed. But with the addition of Smith, they've stumbled upon pure alchemy.

At only 27 minutes long, and with so many changes of pace and style, We Are a Unit is a breathtaking listen. But it's this brevity and diversity that allows Castrovalva to shine where other fearsome live acts have failed - to make a record that does their performances justice. Maybe you can't see the sweat on their brows or feel the cheap lager being thrown overhead, but whenever this album comes clattering into your ears, your gonna have to be fighting pretty damn hard not to be doing some table-somersaulting of your own."

gollark: > And just so its clear I am a minarchist I just think the government needs to do some shitI roughly agree with that. I'm just not sure that the specific set of stuff it needs to do includes phone lines and such.
gollark: You can have... multiple phone line companies? We do in lots of places, even.> you made it so why let anyone else use itThey can pay you for it.> In times of high darwinist selection, it doesn't matter what the current paradigms are.Um. No.
gollark: I was replying to BearcatBen with the "People who need them?" thing, but oh well, ye,s very edgy.
gollark: > Why so?I mean, for one thing, I care about... quality of life? general stability? Lots of things OTHER than just technology? For another, why would ancap magically improve advancement?
gollark: People who need them?
