New album from this French-Canadian duo with a heavy Chrome vibe all but obscured by muffled production values. Declamatory vocals over squelchs of synth, crude drum machines and repeat fuzz guitar give this a kind of stumpy refusenik style that would fit in well at the Manchester Musicians Collective back in the day, though there's a whole bunch of sci-fi moves here that make it a little less 'suburban' than that particular branch of prole art.

Best volume yet of this great on-going limited compilation series that takes the temperature of the underground circa now. Exclusive tracks from Vivian Girls, Blank Dogs, Times New Viking, Intelligence, Guinea Worms, Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees, Tyvek and Pink Reason. Epochal and highly recommended.
