This cleverly named band’s self-titled EP has “Franz Ferdinand” written all over it, but cleaner, more to the bone of the matter and more American in its pop aspirations. Similar driving rhythms and repeating riffs in different keys - very unhappy, very walkable, very doom pop. A bit of fellow Texans “And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead” (and other vexingly long-named influences) in there as well.
