Make It Pop!

Following hot on the heels of their debut single 'Whirled By Curses' (released on FatCat in July), 'Make It Pop' delves further into their taut, idiosyncratic take on rock. Recorded with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago over a nine day period in the Autumn of 2001, the eight tracks here take in a range of styles and ideas, though for the most part, these are intense, wayward, and strangely anglicised songs set to tight, chaotic chord progressions and jagged, acrobatic percussion. Utilising drums, bass, guitar and vocals to full effect with drums also triggering occassional saxophone samples, their songs are explosive and prone to suddenly flip back on themselves or fly off at unexpected angles.
