From looking at each band's discography separately, it would be naive to think the Old Gray/Tiny Moving Parts split would be anything but devastating. In the past year, both bands have made great strides in popularity. Although that brings along tons of anticipation for new material, it also has critics examining such material under a microscope, determining if new releases are a step in the right or wrong direction. Even with that pressure, this split further secures Old Gray's and Tiny Moving Parts' spots in the genre. The bands combined their talent and promise into one release that is one of the best splits we've heard all year. With an underlying theme of anxiety and death running through these four tracks, the bands address similar situations from different perspectives, both sonically and emotionally. Even so, the subtleties in each track compliment each other impressively well. Let's look at the split track-by-track.
