That is, the music they gravitated toward before they had Inchany taste or judgment,Inch as Innis puts it. The results are an album that swirls dance-music paint onto a rock canvas. Inspired in part by genre-bending Creation Records bands like Primal Scream and Madchester groups like Happy Mondays, Acid Star gives a modern spin on a classic formula. InchThis new song [InchCitizen XInch] does vibrate with the weird aura of a live show; there's a sense of disorientation and detachment, and Cimino's vocals-which are reminiscent of Paul Banks' in Turn on the Bright Lights-are like a guiding light.Inch FLOODInchMelding gothic post-punk with psychedelic synth-pop, InchRom-ComInch casts a long, dark shadow-their retro synthesizers and gloomy textures give it a compressed, chilling feel-but it's energetic grooves bring the song to life.Inch - PasteInchThe song [InchCitizen XInch] itself began as a kind of shoegaze piece, with PEEL teasing out fresh elements while indulging their Cocteau Twins fetish.Inch - Clash1.
