Jun 13, 2011By taking a few risks that work and doing what they do best--but doing it better--The Coathangers have given us their best album yet.
-
Jun 20, 2011While the ground The Coathangers find themselves treading is well-worn, it's their approach and general unpretentious demeanour that makes them and Larceny & Old Lace a delightfully engaging collection, even if the underlying message bears a hallmark of sadness and loss.
-
Jun 28, 2011Righteous dilettantes, the Coathangers' songs are simple and jarring-they're irreverent towards melody and their hooks jut at odd angles.
-
Jun 13, 2011The Coathangers have moved beyond their admittedly thrilling party phase and are now aiming at sitting next to their post-punk heroes, most notably the underappreciated Erase Errata and The Coathangers' own Georgian predecessor, Pylon. And Larceny & Old Lace is a nervy, bracing step in that direction.
-
Aug 11, 2011The Coathangers are clearly a band in transition, and it's very possible that this album's disjointed nature is a result of the band throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks.
-
Jun 16, 2011Most tracks on Larceny aren't exactly catchy, but the band's incessant enthusiasm and punchy delivery show that there's more to good music than earworms.
-
Jun 13, 2011The rest of the album varies the sonic assault in various ways, while striving to ensure that there are only occasional moments of listenability.
