  • The latest from NYC’s seminal art punks (now minus Jim O’Rourke) represents their classic sound circa ‘Daydream Nation’ and, landing so soon after The Futureheads’ new LP (to name just one example), serves as a potent reminder of how hugely influential they are still. Wide open tunings, white noise and distinctive, thrumming harmonics have sustained them for 25 years and this sweetly rapturous and grittily groovy treat is triumphant affirmation that age cannot wither the Yoof.
