Four tracks, eight minutes, and every record lands around two minutes. Fam Ross has spent the last several years working as half of Pen Lordz, the duo with Arsinel behind Pen Lordz 3 and the fifteen-track 41Zoo, and this EP reads as the solo counterpart to that body of work same economy, narrower scope. M.GERM? appears on two of the four, opening on the title track and closing on "Spatulas," which gives eight minutes a frame it wouldn't otherwise have. The titles lean horror-comic rather than street "Cyclops in the Drop," "Sun Down Town" and the sequencing alternates solo and featured records cleanly, which suggests the guest spots were placed rather than accumulated. No production credits are listed and no city is attached. What's audible from the structure alone is a project built for one sitting: no track long enough to lose momentum, no skits, no intro. At eight minutes there's no room for filler and no room for a statement either. For listeners who came in on the Pen Lordz records, this is Fam Ross working lean. For everyone else it's a cheap way to find out whether the duo's economy holds up without the other half.
