Rating: 6.5 games of operation out of 10
It’s no secret the Detachment Kit sound a lot like Les Savy Fav; now, it's been taken that one step further by having their newest release “Of This Blood” on the Fav's label French Kiss. For their sophomore effort, they parlayed that sound with a slightly more mainstream “indie” influence on some tracks, recalling groups such as The Walkmen or former Self-Starter label-mates Haywood. This blend really works for them I think – still spazzy enough to appeal to the already established fan base, but with a broad enough appeal to attract outsiders who might not have otherwise considered them. Comparisons aside, this is a very enjoyable record that I’m sure will see a number of spins on my stereo.
