Savages dive into texture, making a more nuanced, interesting, album than their debut. A buzzed-down mix makes for an uncanny listen, dark and shining, a slow motion movie trailer sword -- ominous, heavy, sharp.
It's easy to forget how unusual this album is, how few bands there are making inventive rock and roll in 2016. It's a taut, frayed take on a lot of mid 00's angles that've been all but forgotten, all that TVotR / YYYs overblown buzz, smashed through restless post-dancepunk skitter, with a careening energy that keeps it from feeling retro. It's better the closer you listen - it takes the curves so well you could miss how twisty the road is 3.5/5
