Is it the third Dragnet LP already? Time flies man. For some reason (time & energy, usually) i’ve never given them the full blog post treatment here but i’m also gonna say they’ve never before sounded quite as tight, well-rounded, caffeinated and to-the-point as the Melbourne group featuring members of Vintage Crop, Gonzo and Teen Line among others does on their newest record. There’s on one hand that slight Uranium Club-esque vibe to it that also pervades much of the Vintage Crop discography but there’s just as much of a distinct quirky synth-driven, eggpunk-ish action going on that sits somewhere inbetween oldschool Ausmuteants, US bands like Smirk, Cherry Cheeks and Australia’s own Ghoulies, Aborted Tortoise and Electric Prawns 2.
