emerge

“emerge seeks out the common ground between the Beastie Boys and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, slicing and dicing meaty hip-hop beats, crazed garage-rock riffs and vintage keyboard squawking; what could have amounted to little more than primordial pomo sludge is actually quite impressive when it catches fire (see Go for a Ride, Add It Up and Get Off Your Feet), although the band's willful lack of focus is a weakness as often as it's a strength. Still, a promising and often invigorating debut.” ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
