Apr 27, 2020It's a tighter and more motorik album than 2018's Modern Meta Physic, and the band sound as though they've locked more fully into the shape they're meant to take — hooky, harmonic rock that seems to glow softly from within all the noise. It's an enveloping, oddly comforting soundtrack to troubled times.

Somehow Agitprop Alterna is even more pleasantly derivative than their first album, and that's saying a lot!
