 Second album syndrome. It’s a phrase that denotes some obligation to evolve out of a bracket that is almost always doomed to fail. It defines how bands and artists are so readily pigeonholed through their first efforts and will never achieve anything greater. With Errors’ first full length, It’s Not Something, But It Is Like Whatever, they (arguably) managed to get rid of that ‘syndrome’, despite the fact that it was their full length debut. The much adored How Clean Is Your Acid House? EP and Salut, Francesingle had already sated the appetite for a fair few, despite these pieces existing as morsels before the main course of the album. While INSBIILW was doubtless a solid effort, it never felt as if the step was made into their touted status as a rebuttal to the likes of Battles or 65daysofstatic. Come Down With Me, on the other hand - Errors' actual second album, can hopefully evade such concerns. The initial furore over the band had passed, leaving them breathing space to expand upon their acclaimed work. The time spent in what they refer to as ‘the freezer’ in recording this album has obviously focussed them; the result is a joy throughout. Opener ‘Bridge or Cloud?’ is a prime case in point. It’s quintessentially Errors, but has a triumphant march-like feel that was never recognised as missing in the first album. ‘A Rumour In Africa’ plays on the staccato combinations of their canon and is a wonderful reminder of just where Errors have come from, but it’s following track, ‘Supertribe’, that ups the ante for the rest of the album....full text |

| Dance those winter blues away. Glasgow’s finest nerdtronica – in the sense they’re slavishly dedicated to unveiling ever-intricate ways to make us shake a leg – quartet have returned with a second album that takes the charm of their debut and cranks up the rave factor. ‘Supertribe’ is an irresistibly bouncy trip through three decades of electronic music while ‘Sorry About The Mess’ lets the Mogwai influence bubble carefully to the surface, and threaded throughout ‘Come Down...’ is an attention to detail that makes the drops heavier, as on the pummelling ‘A Rumour In Africa’, and the post-rock soundscapes much, er, soundscapier. A phenomenally fun record....full text |

| Errors have created something of a masterpiece with their second album, Come Down With Me. The 10 indie-rock-meets-electronica instrumentals presented here are infinitely complex and multifaceted, layered with rich precision, and delightfully infectious. Catchiness, though, need not necessarily be precluded by simplicity. Errors create lush and challenging soundscapes, thick with dime-stop time changes and complex - and sometimes downright funky - grooves. The four pieces that make up this music are all equally deft, allowing neither rhythm nor melody to steal the proceedings. Talky samples (see the French dame who opens Supertribe) and found noises round things out nicely without seeming extraneous or forced. There are some obvious comparisons to be made. Most excitingly, Errors resemble - though it's possible that they may dispute this claim - an I Robot era Alan Parsons Project. They're proggy, sure, but they've also got a keen pop sensibility. Speaking of prog, they also bear sonic kinship to Battles, and that other indie instrumental band, Explosions In The Sky. And one can't wholly discount the apparent influence of their moody, post-rock label bosses Mogwai....full text |
