This might technically be the glossy, coke-hazed, electro-pop group Chromatics, but outside of the name you'd never guess it. Instead, you've got a noisy indie rock band who clearly hadn't discovered or couldn't afford synthesizers yet. Neither the title track or the b-side "Skill Fall" are bad, they're just not what you're expecting if you came in only knowing their modern incarnation, nor are the songs good enough to overcome those expectations. This will eventually get filed away into my seven inch bins, and then at some point in the future I'll forget what it is, pull it out expecting catchy electro-pop, and go through this all over again.
