The new LP is ok, although the goofiest moment is the best..the single 'Atlas' which is perhaps the only post-rockl/math-rock/Glitterbeat glamstomp meets gabba ravecore I can think of: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU NME calls them 'Puzzle Rock' which is a wonderful idea for a genre. But be warned..they could just be Jazz/prog fusion coming in through the backdoor once bolted so firmly by punk but they do at least have certain "something" that elevates them above the likes of say Tuung...who are just shit. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #175 ********************************
