What do you get when you mix Mr.Kitty's witchy synthpop, Crystal Castles' second album vibes and a touch of harsh vocal fry mashed with Linkin Park melodic singing? "Wishing Well" sounds like all of those things, and (almost) pulls it off. Separately, Dead Fetus and Cairn Elan (the pair who makes up Suffer Ring) are both great artists, who carved their own niches over the years. Together, however, they're a bit of a head-scratcher. The album does sound good, it's well produced, has catchy melodies, CRIM3S-like energy, interesting range and use of vocals, but I quite often catch myself wondering if I'm listening to some weird, parallel universe Crystal Castles. I'm not entirely sure what could make this project work better, I just feel like the potential was not fully acknowledged and realised. It's still an album with a handful of bangers that I will come back to.
