Villages has achieved a rare feat. The second LP of the indie/postpunk trio 'Excessive Demand' actually succeeds in creating an absolutely catchy, captivating sound from complex components. The band blends diverse influences from synthpop, indie/art rock and postrock to create their original, detailed sound. This reflects such diverse sources of inspiration as Battles, Trail of Dead, LCD Soundsystem, Deerhunter, Pttrns and Chad VanGaalen to name a few.
