REVERSE THE CURSE – hither & yon

Sonderpreis! * Nach der EP "paths" (2008) nun das Debüt-Album der noch jungen Post-Hardcore Band. Der Sound bewegt sich zwischen Hot Water Music und Polar Bear Club, hat aber durchaus auch rockigere Elemente der 90er dabei. Sure, the band are still howling out personal pains and practically choking on gravel, from the Chris Wollard-esque strain in "Bathers" to the riffy and raspy "Serotonin," but their yearning is far more dynamic and sprawling than their now-former peers. Sometimes these motions spill forth a sparkling post-rock ripple, as they do to close "Suplex Condenser Dispenser" * Paper & Plastick.
