i was as impressed as everybody else was with ‘lungs’ when it came out. there’s something appealing and sort of baffling about a debut that’s so resolute, so totally confident. but i hadn’t listened in a while until a few weeks ago, when i finally got my hands on a copy of ‘between two lungs’, the re-release that includes an extra disc of unreleased tracks, remixes and live performances. this is the first track on the bonus disc, and again: the rough, industrial sound that permeates the track from the first whirrs all the way through that jackhammer of a chorus is a perfect example of this paradox a brand new band inexplicably at ease in their own weird, new skin. can’t wait to see what these guys pull out next. -d
