Jul 29, 2015 Prinzhorn Dance School
Prinzhorn Dance School‘s albums never sound as labored as you’d think. Clay Class, the duo’s previous release, found Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn spending 260 consecutive days in the studio without ever once leaving, per their own testimony. (They ordered food in.) Beyond meticulous, it’s a self-described torturous approach.
That’s what makes the six tracks on Home Economics, the band’s new album, so vexing. Such restraint should give way to immediate rewards, but gems like the colorful “Reign” and cleverly disheveled “Haggle” are all too often negated by the tedium of tracks like “Clean.” Hard work is no substitute for inspiration.
