Though I do love Hanging Valley a bit more, that's nothing against their debut — to me, this is the most rhythmically compelling post-punk act of the 2010's.
This LP is a so rich in tones and textures, verging close to shoegaze while still feeling like an angular, chiming post-punk album. No need to skip anything, cuz every song's good. criticaljams
While nothing in their catalog matches Distraction, the album that comes after this, Dreamlands is a tight, athletic, rhythmically bruising beast of an art--pop-punk album — about as close to a perfect combination of quotidian factors that becomes truly transcendental when the players lack into their groove.
The best punk band of the 2010's, no argument — as compelling as a pop band as they are as an art project. criticaljams
This Tucson group makes wildly psychedelic shoegaze that sounds as if it's been warped and melted by the desert sun. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 6, 2018
