Herkyjerk rock, packed with offbeat emphasis, angular guitars, streaking falsettos - a throwback to early aughts second-wave dancepunk. At its best it's got enough surprises to sound like Menomena's best computer-augmented instrumentations*, but by the end it droops into Franz Ferdinand / Hot Hot Heat territory, sounding watered down and understuffed, leaning too hard on those keening vocals while the band keeps time. There's real potential here if they could keep their edge on 3/5
* first track here is Cough Cough ~ IATFBM's Cough Coughing: Coincidence?
