Mind Spiders - Furies (Dirtnap, 2018)

Rating: 7.5 pedantic theme parks out of 10

There’s not nearly enough catchy synth-punk bands in the world for my taste...bands that heard Gary Numan and said “let’s make all of our music sound like that, but more aggressive.”  But at least we have Mind Spiders, who yet again have put out an outstanding collection of just such tunes.  “Furies” kicks off with a driving barnburner titled “Outside,” and never lets up for the duration of it’s half-hour run time.  “No Ground” is the strongest track here, sounding like KMFDM if they were more angry and less dancey.  Any fan of this more recent version of Mind Spiders will be way in on this, as it very much sounds like what they were doing on their last release “Prosthesis.”  These guys deserve a larger audience because these songs are damn good, and fun.
