This EP opens with wavering, sci-fi notes mixed with fast-paced but gentle drumming and grinding distortion. The cinematic track Running congeals these varied elements smoothly, and its cooing chorus exemplifies lead singer Jack Rudich's warm voice as well as his great control and range. The rest of the release has a heavier emphasis on chordy guitar and a combination of dark and light keyboard tones, blended into a dreamy '80s sound. The synth-pop of Vis A Vision certainly evokes Joy Division and The Cure, overlayed with the emotive strength of Rudich's contemporary (but quite distinct) poppy vocals.
