Freak Genes - Hologram [SILVER VINYL] – New LP
Another stellar set from this UK outfit, the skin of electronic robots growing over them as the years go by, embracing that while shaking it off to rattle the bones, shaking up the human blood inside to keep it pumping, quite a bit different than the last ones, quite a bit like them, maybe returning to more of the frantic paranoia of the third album, but also settling into their signature sounds like we heard on the fourth set, pounding square pistons into cylinders, yanking the rip chord, kicking the powerplant into action...along with punk, post-punk and no wave influences, possible influences surfacing this time might include Tubeway Army, Roxy Music, Sparks, Moroder, and Talking Heads, another essential listen for fans. -- winch (green noise)
