Audio drag for ego slobs

"On an impulsive debut album, Gustaf prove there's a reason why they're one of the most exciting names to have emerged from NYC's post-punk scene in recent years ... [Singer] Lydia Gammill's captivating role brings to mind some of the finest Stateside post-punks of recent years; from the dead-pan delivery of Bodega through the menacing, vital roar of Downtown Boys and Sheer Mag. Their own city's rich musical heritage is in plain sight all over the album though. Whether it's the rumbling, raw bass that echo Talking Heads' Tina Weymouth plucking out at the end of 'Best Behaviour' or the rampant Television-esque guitar notes tucked underneath the groove-heavy vocals of 'Dream'. The sound is timeless and thrilling at every turn, avoiding pastiche".
