Produced by Edwyn Collins, the third studio album from the London-based post-punk trio brilliantly sharpens their incredibly tight, danceable sound. The incredibly minimalist record leans heavily into jagged, funk-inflected basslines and sharp, staccato guitar work while directly addressing systemic inequalities and societal expectations. It serves as an incredibly vibrant, fiercely political injection of energy into the modern dance-punk revival.
