On this self released demo-EP Scott Jeffreys still sings in the higher regions, yet he seems more relaxed and you could say that of the instrumental side of things too. Some might experience it as a letdown but I would advise not to jump to conclusions to quickly. The song closest to the first incarnation of the band is Hibernation, so that's the song most likely to lure old fans, while the other two tracks show a more mature and 'mellow' Confessor to appeal to those new to the band. These songs might need a few more spins for those who have expectations, but you will find out that what might seem a loss in the vocal and complexity parts might be a gain in songwriting. There's more variation, there are vocal harmonies and some strange dissonant chords that'll put you off-balance in a positive way. You can find more background info in the interview I did with Scott so I keep it short here. Blueprint Soul marks a great return of the band who had a cult-status (but then again: who doesn't these days?) but nobody really seemed to carry the torch after them. So here they are to pick it up themselves again and I do think there's still room for them, even these times where doom is blooming (and maybe already is showing signs of withering).
