The song arrangements coyly help to enhance Blumenfeld-James' drama too, but not in the way you'd expect. "LA Kids" is up-tempo but just when you're ready for the band to emphasize a point with a scathing guitar solo they drop out completely to allow a lone cello to underscore the moment. And that's the modus operandi here; Julie the Band love to take you to the precipice with finesse and you'd better enjoy that ride because they're not going to kick you over the edge.
An Act of Communication is a masterful tease and as its orchestrator Blumenfeld-James is destined to bathe in the spotlight he clearly loves for quite some time.
