#1386 Rustie - Glass Swords

Rustie's 2011 debut falls somewhere between bigdrop bros-on-molly dubstep and wobblefuck artshit dubsteb and manages to be better than either. It's good, swooping fun and packed with ideas about how to fill the spaces between notes, whether with overblown bass, prefuse vocal snickersnaps, or hall-of-mirrors synth scintillations.

Hamfisted in places, up its own arse in others, its a net win - worth hearing for fans trying to keep the latest wave at arm's reach while keeping a finger on its pulse 3.5/5
