Classic DFA double-disco, full of synthy arpeggios, big bass and one-stop-two-stop beats. Nancy Whang lends keening vocals to most of the tracks: whether you like this hinges on whether you like her.
If you ask me, she's ok. Melodic, with a touch of mystery, but she doesn't exactly set the place on fire. And she sets up a situation where MacLean himself seems pretty bloodless by comparison, riffing on // ripping off James Murphy and late-era Bowie, the songs them selves sounding an awful lot like Grimes (The Sun Will Never Set on our Love) and, well, LCD (Love Stops Here). It's all too familiar, effortless cool tipping over into a lack of effort 2.5/5
