The name of Think:Fire’s forthcoming EP ‘Swings and Roundabouts’ might suggest lots of ups and downs, but there are anything but down points on it.

40 love kicks off the EP, with the lyrics establishing a resilient vibe that perhaps defines the band itself. Take these Maps introduces Bloc Party-esque guitar riffs, but the prevailing passion of the lyrics make it a sound distinctly their own. Making less of a mark overall is Three or Thirteen, but as the song develops, its melodic atmosphere dangerously lures you in.

The vocal appearance from Kids in Glass Houses frontman Aled on They Shape Shift injects something extra to the EP, which finishes with the fiery Sunrises. Overall ‘Swings and Roundabouts’ reveals an ambitious group that promises to deliver.
