    Imagine 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.

  1. 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]
  2. Blender
    70
    The result approaches sublimity, but remains geared toward dance floors. [#13, p.96]
  3. Nude As The News

    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.
