One of the few bands who can make inconsistency a virtue, Single Frame record albums that are comparable to an hour of free-form college radio, bouncing between jangly pop and electronic noise throughout their brief, hook-filled songs. After a re-released debut album (Wetheads Come Running) and a stopgap EP (Burn Radio Airtest), the band returns with an album that's no less schizophrenic but focuses on the darker, electronic elements of their mercurial sound. What they've managed to keep here is Wetheads' sense of discovery. Unfortunately, what they've left behind are the hooks that made Wetheads Come Running worth coming back to.

In addition to the abrupt shifts in style between tracks, Body/End/Basement retains both the distorted, damaged electronics and the brevity of their debut-- every track except closer "Make Yourself" is less than three minutes long, and there is a fair share of "skits" and incidental pieces between songs. After an instrumental opening suite, "I'll Lose Your Balance" expertly builds tension, dropping chaotic guitar lines and drum machine beats between otherwise calm verses of piano and low-key vocals, before ending in guitar-thrash catharsis.
