"The Intima use great instrumental prowess to build a near-constant state of tension in their shadowy, sweeping songs. Their taut structural designs are charged with carefully wielded aggression and barbed wire hooks, sounding experimental while maintaining a melodic accessibility. The tightly knit quartet's emphasis shifts delicately from sparse ethereality to densely juxtaposed clamor and dissonance - built from disjointed guitar, sharp, wavering rhythms, and sawing violin - and tied together by a common thread of comforting intimacy, enormous heart, and intelligence. The Intima are entrenched in the aesthetics of both British post-punk (Mekons, Gang of Four) and American progressive art-punk (Unwound, Sonic Youth), but they hardly sound derivative and their raw impact is as powerful as their primary ancestors."
