Eminently danceable and frequently dark, this is what robots put on to seduce each other
With Emily Haines’ expressive vocals standing proud and up front, this is a collection of catchy singalong dance rock anthems.
Washes of sound surround you as half-heard vocals intertwine with half-remembered melodies.
Is it the analog synthesizer flourishes, or the gentle delivery with an aggressive intent, or the seamless shuttling between disparate elements that shouldn't work together? The band sounds perfectly familiar, yet completely its own thing.
A series of alien transmissions, ready for your fascinated decoding. A layering of sounds that are salty, sweet, savory. An incomprehensible message competing with a carnival across town and your roommate blasting Led Zeppelin through muffling walls.
