Propulsive and well-rounded post punk on what appears to be the fourth album already by this group from Oslo, Norway that’s been existing for well over a decade by now but hasn’t released anything new in the last eight years. Anyway, this is highly competent shit that imbues their dark post punk / postcore sound – at first glance fitting in pretty well with the genre’s contemporary stretch – with plenty of thrilling texture, flashes of melody and a good deal of compositional finesse and rock-solid craftsmanship, reminding me of an unexpectedly colorful bunch of groups including the likes of Criminal Code, Wymyns Prysyn, Pretty Hurts, Corker, The Nation Blue, Girls In Synthesis, Bloody Gears or that recent Shepparton Airplane LP.
