There’s even the addition of a little bit of 80s synth on Limits, though this is kept to a minimum across the album.Ī highly impressive sophomore for this band, which I would advise anyone with a soft spot for loud guitars to listen to. It contains quite a discordant riff that at first sounds off, but eventually falls perfectly into place. 97 provides us with a desolate opening using a single echoing guitar and soft vocal before the guitars break over you. Business Man is driven along by piano and bass until distorted synths kick in as the guitars keep building on each other. Self described as post-punk, with motorik elements of krautrock and noise pop, the band blends this sound with elements of neo-psychedelia.The band have released two album, Means in 2016 and Into Red in 2019.
