Dec 5, 2013Inevitably, it doesn’t stack up with their singular first album (which does have nostalgia on its side), but Latyrx sounds motivated and creatively rejuvenated.

Dec 5, 2013This isn't the Latyrx that won over backpackers and Cali-funk fans back in '97--far from it. It's not much of a reunion, that's for sure, and sixteen years is a long time to wait for a sophomore slump.
