Songs of consumption

"... though a love of krautrock, shoegaze and psych have been present in all their records. Songs of Consumption, though, feels like a breather. It's generally gentle, synthy covers of eight of their favorite songs, often little more than bass, a primitive rhythm box and just a little synth or guitar to color in outlines and provide support for Tom Dougall's vocals. It's still very trippy, in a Sonic Boom kind of way, and the band have good taste. The eight songs are well chosen - they are crate-digging record nerds - and the record's at it's best the furthest away from the source material as they can get. The Stooges' "Down on the Street" here is almost Suicide-esque, with chilled out bass keeping the song's riff, with some drony organ as the only other instrumentation".
