Album Review
David McWade
Reviewed 2008-06-18

Pop. A bit of a new wave feel, occasionally mathy, influenced by a speeded up Roxy Music, Spandau Ballet, English Beat, Blur (by the way, they are British). Vocals are high pitched and effete. As you would expect, some songs are interesting and some are just so-so or embarrassing. Pattern is Movement's new record, Supersystem may also be reference points.

Highlights:

1 speeded up math pop, superficially like English Beat but geekier
4 kind of layered, light funk developing
**5 (CLASSIC new wave hit, somewhat memorable)
7 (starts rocking out about 1/2 through, let's go!)
8 Takes a long time to develop and then explodes into an uptempo
9 Seems kind of canonical somehow
10 short, meandering
11 develops, funky
12 silent track
**13 blippy cool mathy new wave
14 a lot like 13
