Description
US dance-funk-punk collective !!!s most cohesive, powerful, danceable, direct record yet.
An exquisite series of feet-friendly oscillations NME
!!! (chk chk chk) have returned with a striking, personal but ultimately danceable collection of funk-punk-rock-pop-dance missives, fired off with the precision production of the band and Eric Broucek.
This is a record custom-built for the alternative dancefloor, yet moving into deeper and sometimes darker territory than previous albums Myth Takes and Louden Up Now.
On the one hand, Strange Weather, Isnt It? is !!!s most texturally rich record to date and is filled with deep, galvanizing grooves in the tradition of 2003s Me And Giuliani Down By The Schoolyard (A True Story) and their massive cover of Magnetic Fields Take Ecstasy With Me. On the other, theres a dark undercurrent running through the record that acts as a counterpoint to the glittering surfaces. In other words, although only 20% of the record was recorded in Berlin (the other 80% split between New York and Sacramento, California), Strange Weather, Isnt It? is the perfect Berlin album.
