| Check out "Disobey" and "Here It Comes" off Shift, the fourth album from SF synth punks POW! out May 10th on Castle Face. |
Just when we thought we knew what to expect from POW! they surprise us with a vigorous and rabid LPs worth of moody cybernetic punk that’s frankly their best yet. Their 4th album, Shift, is oil-dipped in a rainbowed slick of dread, yet the songs are buoyed by tight tunes that seem to have a lot of fun among the ruins of the future, dare I say with an eye to a less gloomy horizon?
Melissa Blue’s sharp-elbowed synths jostle with Byron Blum’s zap-gun guitar in an ominous fog of oscillations. Somehow POW! got darker and more catchy at the same time, for which credit is due to the propulsive drumming of Cameron Allen and the fantastically futuristic production of Byron Blum & Tomas Dolas. Lots of sticky punk heart resin-layered in a futuristic-scanning bionic bop. For fans of The Units, xex, The Screamers, Primitive Calculators, Red Asphalt and glittery black nail polish. Castle Face is putting it out May 10th. Check out "Disobey" and "Here It Comes" below.
