    Sound Kapital, with its concise length and sound quality (omit none of these songs), should be the flagship for such a shift. Spencer Krug should take note.

    The change-up [writing exclusively on the keyboard] proved to be the best thing to happen for the duo, especially for Boeckner, a guitarist by trade whose embrace of the analog synth helped open a whole new world of expression for him as a songwriter.

    Sound Kapital may be the best of the bunch-- a hard-hitting, spine-crushing work of post-industrial electro-punk that owes more to Suicide than Pavement. [Jul 2011, p.85]
