#1045 Moon Duo - Circles

Repetitive clipclip beats keep time as the rolling bass and big guitar washes and muttered vocals roll in. This goes beyond Strokes / Interpol NYC post-punk and into a dampened Big Black territory, motoring along like listenable Velvets via Jesus and Mary Chain via A Place to Bury Strangers (see especially Sparks), but with some of that Roadrunner endless runner running. An exercise in repetition and atmosphere that never really takes any big chances, but ends up being an agreeable, trancy listen 3.5/5
