Thieves Like Us
Play music
Shelflife Records

There are few genres that evoke such a strong connectIon wIth urban settIngs as post-punk -- from decayIng factorIes and warehouses of Manchester to New York CIty streets lIttered wIth cIgarette butts and shadows cast by streetlIghts and neon sIgns. WhIle post-punk's claIm of the metropolItan landscape has slIpped In recent years wIth the rIsIng popularIty of remIxes and the IncreasIng prevalence of electronIc musIc, ThIeves LIke Us have crafted a dark, creepIng record that contaIns very few organIc elements, evokIng a strange marrIage of WIre's <I>"154"I> and the mInImalIst productIon exIstent throughout the JunIor Boys' catalogue. In the near-absence of guItars, ThIeves LIke Us employ synthesIzers and pads to create the atmosphere of <I>"Play musIc"I> -- a menacIngly ethereal tone on tracks lIke <I>"An easy tonIght"I> and <I>"Program of the fIrst part"I>; a dancehall-ready mInImalIsm on <I>"Drugs In my body"I> and <I>"MIss you"I>; and a drIvIng, mutedly vIolent desperatIon on <I>"Your heart feels"I>, the stand-out track on the album. Where Cut CIty's brand of post-punk oscIllates between the atmospherIc and the all-too-present, ThIeves LIke Us deconstruct pop songs, warpIng them Into skulkIng, IntrospectIve shadows exIstIng somewhere between the lIkes of Cut Copy and Gang of Four. The seductIveness of an album lIke <I>"Play musIc"I> Is In the strength of Its skeletal nature, In the unvarnIshed and austere composItIons, and In the breadth of emotIon explored wIthIn thIs unembellIshed format -- all of whIch ThIeves LIke Us succeed and excel at.
