Things Are Strange

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! These Brooklyn art punk pugilists deliver the goods again, following last year's propulsive "Let's Get Serious" EP. After dosing on Magma, Swans, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Ash Ra Temple, and other agents of the baroque, they've emerged with a bit of King Crimson clinging to their Jesus Lizard. As The Fly said, "The Panthers don't make music for the faint hearted. If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the pick-up trucks of the NYC scene, then these guys are the 18-wheelers. Put the pedal to the metal and get the f--- out of their way."
