The sound is so scrawny it can wear on you, meaning their 34-minute album is probably two songs too long. But there's only one I'd scrap.
-
Run through with kitschy soundbites from retro sci-fi flicks and news broadcasts, a few tracks expand the band's musical palate ('Sonic You' is their first downright lovely tune) but the rest sink into a predictable groove of dumpy bass-lines and puckish drum fills, and mining far less satisfyingly sassy lyrical territory than the band's debut.
-
60Scramble is a very solid record, but if anything it shows us the Coathangers' talents have outgrown their humble garage sound.
