The same basic formula from Deerhoof, those keening guitar lines dueling with Satomi's mewling and yowling and cooing, set on boil over offkilter beats.
The artrock purists would certainly disagree, and I haven't heard all of their previous 11 (!) albums, but I think this might be my favorite I've heard - certainly the one I'd be most likely to put on again. It's less aggressively weird, but no less adventurous. The band's found the sweetspot between offkilter and sweet, keeping your interest with inventive textures, tones, and noises instead of just blasting you with angular apocalypse. Later tracks (Black Pitch) are beautiful, even!
A kinder, gentler breed of batshit noise-pop 3.5/5
