California's No Age is one of the more talked about bands of the California experimental/lo-fi/noise movement. The thing that sets them apart from bands like Wavves and HEALTH is simple; they write much better songs. Losing Feeling is a four cut EP that takes a more heavy focus on songwriting and structure while understanding that the listener's attention span can exceed two minutes and 24 seconds (all songs exceed three minutes whereas only 2 of the 11 found on last year's Nouns broke that barrier). Although the trademark feedback is there, it seems to be toned down so that you can hear the duo's vocals. No Age has taken a different direction with this EP, one that displays the talent and range (at times it's hard to believe that only two dudes are accomplishing all this), and the outcome is fresh and leaves anticipation for their next release high.
