Wolves evolve yet again. This time around, it is actually a good evolution. This EP is very well done, and very professional. It also on the one of the better Ulver releases since the band screwed black metal. This little EP is definitely the best thing Garm has done vocally since 1998, with the classic Ulver album, Themes From William Blakes Marriage Of Heaven And Hell. Garm returns to operatic singing here! Unfortunately, he can only be heard in the first and third songs. But when he is featured, it is pure brilliance. On Little Blue Bird, Garm starts off with very beautiful higher operatic wailing, and sometimes says little bird if you listen closely. He does this throughout the song effectively. He then sings the lyrics in a calm lower voice with moderate passion. The music of this song is very eerie, and repeats the same creepy sound over and over. Then on Vowels, Garm sings in a low baritone head voice that is simply astonishing. He recites words that all contain the letters that make up the phrase, wolves evolve. It sounds very cool. The music here is more cheerful than the previously mentioned song. It is not nearly as dark, but is still kicks ass. The other two tracks are Doom Sticks and Eittlane. The latter being a remake of Nattleite from the album, Kveldssanger. It is not nearly as good as the original, and there is nothing else to say about it. Doom Sticks is pretty cool, but it is just another ambient track from these guys. Garm makes this band and when hes not present on a song, it really hurts the songs effectiveness. This is melancholic music and it really does fit its title, A Quick Fix Of Melancholy. The problem is its too quick of a fix. We want more!
