The Symbols -- The Symbols [EP]

Whenever you see Dave Beegle is associated with something, you know it is going to be a thing of quality. You can take your chances on it. This is true of the self-titled EP by The Symbols, which Beegle mastered, but the five-song disc isn’t without its unevenness. The band is made up of Mer Sal (vocals, keys), David Becher (bass, vocals), Jasco (guitar), Ryan Sapp (drums). Most of the unevenness comes from Sal’s vocals. She’s got a decent enough voice, and definitely the indie-pop tracks without her vocals are worthy. (Jasco is one guitarist you’d want on your desert island with you if you couldn’t get a bunch of CDs delivered and you didn’t have access to the cloud.) I just would say that some tracks are more labored than others, and the point of this EP doesn’t seem to be heaviness. It is intended to be pretty light fare, but Sal’s patchy singing can weigh it down in spots.
