    There is surprisingly a lot to like about this band. 'Jinx' sounds like the party that doesn't stop. There is enough here to convince any naysayers that this band has what it takes to be more noticed. The album often lacks focus and doesn't seem able to decide whether or not it's dance or punk, and without quite being able to be the next LCD Soundsystem, they settle for second best.

But this is a damn catchy offering and I look forward to hearing more from them.… Expand

    Disjointed rather than bad; there's undoubtedly a cross-section for which the not-quite-post-punk, not-quite-shoegaze combination works. Let's hope they find it.

    Jinx is a much more personal record than its creators have cut in the past.

    Granted, as they’ve smoothed out the rough edges a bit, some of the rugged immediacy has been lost, but they’ve more than make up for it in a newfound sense of lively rhythmic interaction.
