![]() ![]() My biggest complaint with this (as with most bands of their ilk) is that the rhythms are so stiff and uptight. But I will say there are some textures on this that I liked, and the lead guitar has some occasionally inverted, diagonal-sounding passages that contrast with the hard parallel lines and 90-degree angles that the songs are drafted with. Listening to this demo is akin to opening my lunch and seeing that it’s peanut butter again. But at this point, the style is so minimal that it’s become deeply generic and overdone. It’s a recognizable sound, it has a defined aesthetic, and it’s usually a surefire ticket to a built-in audience. I breathe a heavy sigh listening to this, as I wonder how many new minimal post-punk bands we need? How has this style survived the pandemic? To be fair, I get the allure for bands that play this kind of music, much like the spikeys glom to D-beat. ![]()
