“At Jenny Richee” is El Camino’s fourth release, I’m not familiar with their previous releases, but this one surprises me in a positive way. Their music is mostly instrumental and reminds me to bands such as ‘Son, Ambulance’ and ‘Explosions in the Sky’. Most of the time I find instrumental release pretty boring but due to the variety in the songs I can really enjoy this ep. I close my eyes and let the journey begin with ‘The Turnpike Gate’. From the monotone intro to the sudden break at the end, it’s a perfect opener for this album. The title track goes on where ‘The Turnpike Gate’ has ended, very relaxed and very smooth. (They take me further away from the real world) When the second guitarist comes in halfway the song I sink deeper and deeper away. ‘Not A gesture To Lose’ is the only song on this ep that has vocals (done by guest singer Sebastian Cupido), At first it goes on where ‘At Jenny Richee’ has stopped, but halfway the song al music stops and there is nothing left but some beautiful sound effects, then slowly the instruments return and the keep on adding layers to the song.

This is by far the best song the album. ‘Anonymous Builders’ is an mostly electronic intermezzo it’s the perfect bridge to ‘Lieberstahl’ This last song differs from the rest of the album, it’s a lot louder and has a lot more electric guitars. The journey ends here and I return to the real world… ‘El Camino’ builds up every song the same way, they start with a single instrument and then they add instrumental layers to every song. It makes the album very well balanced, this compared with a perfect production makes it a very nice album to listen to.
