These folx effortlessly weave together angular guitar riffs
and that matter of fact, confident speak-singing that made bands like Jesus
Lizard and the Pixies so commanding. The
first song jumps back and forth from 7/4 to 5/4 without sounding forced in the
least and I had to cheat by looking them up on bandcamp first to figure out
what the hell that sound was, Synthesizer or UFO guitar pedal? Turns out it’s
the former.
Even during the standard 4/4 songs, the syncopation involved
with this quartet(?) is gripping and well worth repeated listening. I’d love to
hear more textural synth-work, droning somewhere in the low-mids, too, but
that’d be too perfect for me, especially from a demo. Keep it up, all!
