Note: They’re a Montreal band produced by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse
Sound: Ragged indie rock with jerky and coarse vocals (that can fall somewhere in between Frank Black, David Byrne and Isaac Brock), rudimentary percussion and a whirlwind of synths and organs creating moods including psychotic, spooky and whimsical
Heavy Rotation track: “You Are A Runner and I Am My Father’s Son”
Medium Rotation tracks: “I’ll Believe In Anything“; “Shine a Light“; “It’s a Curse“; “Grounds for Divorce”
Recommended: To those who like their lo-fi rock loose but pulsing and don’t mind if promising hooks get buried in distortion and intentional underproduction.
Grade: B-
