    They come back hard and a bit more focused on this terrific sophomore effort.

    Hoffman used to be in Ex-Cult. They have the same driving, droning, chanting, intoning attack, and though it’s pitched way up high in a womanly register, it concedes nothing else at all to conventional femininity. Great stuff.

    Cosmetic’s stewing textural undercurrent intensifies the band’s outer antagonism by highlighting the trembling, deep-seated dread within. It’s riveting and ruining in equal measure.

    Cosmetic is a strong step forward for Nots that builds on their strengths and gives their weirdness some new and interesting places to go.
