It is two opposing forces at once: across maps of dusty, thick-bottomed loops and warmly truncated fuzz, it oscillates between spit-in-your-face rage and other-worldly indifference. Dara’s lyrics are filtered through a punctured soul, less singing and more letting the air out, speaking in tongues from a tasteless wasteland, “I was queuing at sockets...” he forces through a wall of tinnitus-inducing sound on the album’s opening track. What ensues is the bones of a great pop album being swallowed by industrial-noise—shredding itself into ribbons of panicked, scrambling anthems for a new age of noise.
