Omega La La

On Omega La La, Rubblebucket takes a dramatic step forward with their sound, grafting their Afro-beat rhythms with a creative take on dancey indie pop. Listening to the crystal-clear, minimalist production of the album, DFA veteran Eric Broucek's influence is apparent. The album opens with "Down in the yards," a track that builds off the ebb and flow of a droning, two-note guitar riff, only to explode into a triumphant chorus anchored by the band's horn section. That track is followed up by the bouncy, Afro-Cuban inspired rhythms of "L'homme," a buoyant psych-pop gem. "Silly Fathers" and "Came Out of a Lady" show off the band's penchant for creating pop songs that stick in your head.
