If you're like me, you're listening to or interested about this Boomgates record because it features a member of the super great Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Specifically, the two bands share the same singer, so you can guess exactly where the comparisons are going to go when trying to review Boomgates in the half-assed fashion that is typical from me. This group doesn't have the Gang of Four-terseness or Television-influenced guitar work of Eddy Current. This is a little poppier and janglier, sounding more akin to the Kiwi pop of the early eighties than anything else. Think of Boomgates as a Clean cover band, only with original songs. Then again if they (or anyone) chose the throw in a "Tally Ho" cover, no one would ever complain.
