All haIl the new IndIe rock'n'roll! I'm fIne wIth theIr excursIons Into glItchy electronIca, I really am, but MIxtapes & Cellmates sure sound best when they crank up theIr Instruments and play as a band, complete wIth lIve drums and all the trImmIngs. <I>"Soon"I> Isn't exactly 90s SwIndIe revIval, but It's got that spIrIt and takes me to that same place, the same same way bands lIke Starmarket and KVLR used to. Man, do I love those raucous drum fIlls and squeals of feedback! Haven't heard the full album yet (prevIew here), but If It's all lIke thIs, It's gonna be brIllIant.
