Exit Clov’s Respond Respond pulls off a difficult feat in music: creating an entertaining mixture of art, politics and rock and then wrapping it up in a neat little six-song package. Considering how popular the band has become since they formed in 2003, however, this review only re-enforces what everybody has been saying all along. Yes, they are really that good.

With the latest EP, sisters Emily and Susan Hsu, who provide vocals along with keys, guitars and violins, expertly lead the band through a wide range of musical styles in the span of 27 minutes. In fact, it’s a little difficult to describe Exit Clov without name-dropping 20 different bands and then adding “and if you put them all in one room, this is what their children would sound like.”
