At times the lyrics make you think they were created by an AI who’s found a dictionary and sometimes just repel any kind of interpretation, but even when the lyrics become word soup the songs still work because of the compelling beats. The first single, Paranoic Intervals/Body Dysmorphia is about deciding which people to keep in your life and those you don’t have time for. Simultaneously it’s about impromptu trysts, suffering from bouts of lust and paranoia and possessiveness, and the empty patterns of repetition we engage in when our lives get caught in a loop. The band has crafted an infectious dark electronic music with 80’s beats reminiscent of bands like The Faint and the more avant garde moments of The Focus Group. It’s worth a listen, and certainly not boring.
