DPDec 23, 2002Imagine Surveillance-era Trans-Am mixed with groove they so desperately seach for in their newer albums and you have Out Hud, whose danceworthiness is informed by a myriad of post-punk/funk/no wave styles. They wear their influences on their sleeves, but when it's this good, that doesn't really matter.

Rolling Stone[Out Hud] uses guitars like proper rhythm instruments, meshed best with penetrating drums, space synths and a dash of sticky dub. [23 Jan 2003, p.67]

BlenderThe result approaches sublimity, but remains geared toward dance floors. [#13, p.96]

Although some aspects of the group's live show threaten to turn the entire thing into an ironic joke, the excellent music here betrays no such mixed messages.
