When the shoe drops on the first bars of the new The USAIsAMonster full length, it becomes clear some changes have occurred since the last record, Sunset At the End of the Industrial Age. Buttery synth and elaborate vocal harmonies combine to levitate hairpieces. This is the perfect synthesis of their pastoral wanderings circa their second record, Wohaw, and the punk spunk of the first and third full lengths.
The band is still a New York two-piece tribe of Native American obsessed truth salesman, but after four albums and two EPs their confidence is at a new high and delivers on its promise. Their take on rock embraces proggy synth tones, elaborate harmonies and jaw dropping drum and guitar which can be witnessed in its ragged glory when they come to your local rock hole.
This is the truth, and your course of action is clear. Trim the fat in your life, eliminate lesser musics and embrace the glorious pelt of this new record. The band will be touring, as bands do when records come out. Be a witness and participate in a band at the top of their game.
