mickymMar 1, 2005this 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

dizzyteeDec 9, 2004Pitchfork sounds unusually bitter about this cd. I think it is a bit contrived for its own good, but rarely do i skip a track when it comes up on my i-tunes. I never thought it was trying to scare me. File it with the Dim Stars.

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.
