Catchy, clever, kooky, sassy and at time space- and sci-fi-themed, a vivaciously engaging second indie pop-garage-rock LP by the Los Angeles quartet who channel The Bangles and Devo with a wry look at the state of the world. Standout tracks include the oddball but engaging bleepy-grunge opener BWP, the more electro-pop 50s sci-fi- and Devo referencing of single Lizzie (previously a Song of the Day here), the jangly guitar-style Freak Out, the excellent 80s rock style of Single Origin Experience, which has elements of Thin Lizzy and The Bangles and other old-school pop echoes, though refers to a “future is not so clean” in the 2020s, the rather more melancholy, slower and poignant Typing, written about losing friends to an overdose, the rich shoegaze-style Nissan Overdrive, and closing more heavy glam-space-rock track Sunburn. Out on Third Man Records.
