Start-stop rhythms, angular basslines and deadpan shouting and all the usual markers of harder-edged postpunk are here, but it's not any fun to listen to and its arch, gimmicky "graphic design rock" angle taunts, song title after song title, that these are smug art kids making a racket. Even the guitarless lineup reads like a gimmick - they're no Lightning Bolt. Heck, they're not even Giddy Motors. If you're cooler than everything and post-post-jaded maybe this'll be
your new favorite band, but I like my art-punk a little less on the nose
2.5/5
