I wish I'd found this when I was 20 and bought 2 albums a month instead of listening to 40. Do you think the slashed album title cuts horizontally across track 1-3 / 4-6, or vertical across each of the split song names?
So much room for analysis activities!
In an era where upbeat bands make downbeat dance albums, this murky dance album's an unexpected upswing from the relentlessly miserable Barnes. It feels readymade for a live playthrough, a well-paced listen sliced grudgingly into half as many tracks as it actually contains, seducing you into losing track across 41 minutes of lurching, Bernie-slumpalong dance music. The interesting changes all slip in smoothly mid-track, all disorientingly listenable, all understatedly hooksome. The more I listen to it the more brilliant it is, could be a sleeper all-time great from an endlessly strange band 4.5/5
