#1502 80Kidz - Face

Packed with fakeouts: this opens hard and then strings together 3 tracks of poppy, beatdriven, happy club music, somewhere between Cut Copy and like, I don't know, Katy Perry? Bubblegum stuck up in its loops with just a touch of 80's mystique.

And then comes that angry Justice buzzsaw on Venge // Sting and the whole thing decides it came to rock after all. Bait and switch for the kids? And then it's sentimental, kinda trip hop, kinda breaky, sleepy, bouncy - consistent within tracks but all over the place in the transitions, on and on and on. It's fascinating, if uneven, you almost never get this kind of Mellon Collie eclecticism in electronic music 3.5/5
