Surfer post-punk sound that blends synths surprisingly well. A lot of similarities to Television. The fantastic “Shot By Both Sides” and the more sinister slog “Motorcade” are the clear standouts.

Some great songs here. The 10 minute title track is great, the incredibly catchy glam-rock track “Shooting Star” is even better.
