The more indie-based elements of the production hold the EP back from its fully realized potential. The mixes can sound washy, with the drums in particular often not hitting in the way that they should. Regardless, the orchestration is strong enough to overcome that and provide many evocative minutes, thanks largely to well-timed string layering. Lyrically, the project is unified in its poetic exploration of how an individual can tear themselves apart before understanding the plain antidote to their anxiety. A Theory of Rest & Relativity is one of those ventures where it becomes clear how things will go by track two, yet it demands further listening due to its occasional surprise and inviting instrumentation.
