    An album that evokes all the flustered tension of an age in which we incessantly crave stimulation, even as we serve as stimulating products ourselves. Luckily, Shopping are also smart enough to keep us on our toes and dancing from start to finish, with not a second spilt.

    Their imperfections blare through your speakers, as do the clanging discofied hi-hats, nervy guitar lines and jagged, boy/girl shouted vocals. And yet it satisfies in a way similar to seeing the final pages of your fanzine come spitting through a photocopier.

    Both on Why Choose and in the live setting, Shopping’s music elucidates the urgency and modularity of postpunk and delivers a host of compelling songs along the way.
