Arms Around a Vision

Dec 17, 2015 Web Exclusive By Austin Trunick

Clanging dissonance gives way to jangle-pop in “Reticence,” the opener to the Irish post-punkers’ second LP-a continuation down the shadowy path they took on The New Life. It sometimes sounds like Nick Cave and Edwyn Collins fighting over songwriting duties while fronting Magazine, but that’s our kind of chaos. (www.facebook.com/GirlsNames)
