Not what you'd expect from Estrus

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Texan band blows me away! Doesn't really fall in with the garage rock you'd expect on the Estrus roster as the band tends to steer away from the traditional trappings of that genre. Really strange song structures, stiff-yet-somehow-still-swingin' rhythms a la Gang of Four, discordant screamy guitar, and a singer that sounds like a drunken Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Closest contemporary comparison would be Skull Kontrol (whose two awesome EPs on Touch & Go are also worthy of your attention). Great stuff, check out the song samples and go crazy. "Jump Up For the Get Down" is especially dynamite."
