Division of Laura Lee - Das Not Compute (Burning Heart/Epitaph)
After the break-through release of "Black City", I'm glad to report that DoLL have managed to craft a more-than-worthy follow-up. They enlisted the production assistance of Kalle from The Soundtrack of Our Lives and it paid off. His sonic influence is obvious and goes beyond the requisite guest appearances from fellow TSOOL members Mattias Bärjed and Martin Hederos. It sounds like the band took a lot of time experiment with different tones and the end result is a strongly varied sonic palette. Taking cues from bands like Silverbullit, "Das Not Compute" also cranks up the fuzz-factor to 10 and layers it on thick. There's a couple tracks here and there that don't really go anywhere, but the stuff's that's good (such as the single "Dirty Love" and the epic "Breathe Breathe") more than makes up for it.

Pitchfork delivers an accurate, well-written take on the new Division of Laura Lee: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/d/division-of-laura-lee/das-not-compute.shtml
Pitchfork and well-written within the same sentence? It does happen sometimes.

I saw Division of Laura Lee last night. While it probably wasn't their best performance, I still enjoyed myself. I've been listening to the new record a lot recently and it was good to see them perform the material live. Drummer Håkan says his back isn't bothering him nearly as much as he thought it would, so that's a plus as well. As mentioned before, they just got off a stint across the US support The Sounds and are currently playing some gigs with Run Run Run and The Catheters. They plan to return to the US around August, but nothing is set yet. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
