    this is pretty cool. Dirge is an unbelievable song. I think pitchfork should get off their high horses and judge music for music- not the people who play it. Listen to this late at night and you'll feel all warm and fuzzy

    At base, Contino is a reasonably entertaining and sometimes quite compelling combination of slower dance aesthetics translated into rock & roll terms and sounds. It just isn't the end of the world, that's all.

    You either get the concept or you don't, but those who do will feel tingly all the way down to the base of their dance-floor spines.

    It's a magnificently gothic trip in which guitars grind pitilessly against hip hop beats, electronic circuitry throbs to breaking point and Iggy Pop cameos as a serial killer.
