Dub Thompson, the project of guitarist Matt Pulos and drummer Evan Laffer, mixes musical influences from Big Black and Pere Ubu to kraut pioneers Can and Kraftwerk, while bowing to the British belligerence of The Fall and This Heat. Intense blasts of hook-filled noise rock, rocksteady stomp, hypnotic bouts of doomy poetics, outlandishly sexy groove rock and a number of other bite-sized forays into parts unknown are made manifest across nine songs.
