Art Vs. Science "Create/Destroy"

 

I don't normally fool with EPs but this Australian band was recommended to me a couple of years ago when LCD Soundsystem was wrapping up their existence.  By the time I
discovered A.vs.S.' debut album it was past the designated time threshold I employ for my purchases, but I squirrelled away the name in the musical mausoleum lobe of my withered brain and was genuinely pleased that it floated to the front some thirty months later when I saw this EP released digitally in April.  Now that I've enjoyed it's twenty-something minutes of danceable, New Wave fun I understand why the comparison to LCD was made, though it wasn't exactly the same thing.  LCD was much more involved and intelligent, this EP just lays down the simple beat and surrounds it with all sorts of instruments and noises.  Thirty years ago, a record like this would have had five different remixes of each song targeting the dance floors of clubs throughout the land....



Man, if that doesn't make you grin then go away.  I await the next full-length...
