"Technically stunning, professionally produced, delightfully excessive, and endearingly earnest, the debut album from San Marcos’s Every Other Fate is a relentless and disarming emo-math-rock mosaic. Rarely appearing to stay with one idea for longer than 30 seconds, and maintaining a furious energy for almost the whole duration of the album, “Into The Singularity And The Maw Of Tomorrow,” is an exhausting listen. Of course that’s a good thing for your typical math-rocker (or prog-metalhead, in my case). The myriad tightly-packed ideas are not exactly luxuriously developed, but they are all really good ideas executed with refreshing confidence. Essentially a disorienting thrill ride, this album could be considered ear-candy if it weren’t for the consistently thought-provoking lyrics. While at times sounding like he’s reading from his diary (for all the good and bad that may entail), vocalist and presumed lyricist Brent Ferguson gets points for an expressive delivery and his intriguing concepts about insanity and technology. Gold stars go to head-spinning drum work by Brandon Daniel and nuanced-yet-adrenal production by Jason Moore. This tight local release that will give you your money’s worth of thrills, and more than a little depth and honesty thrown in to wash it down."
