Adult Why Bother   Label: Thrill Jockey Release Date: 03/20/07

What happens when its getting late in the night at your cities hipest
dance night? All the pretty skinny ladies dressed in their leggins are
hangin with “white girl”? You haved on too many Sparks and are feeling
restless. The PBR’s are almost sold out at the bar. I know what you can
do. Head over to that DJ booth and if he knows whats up. You tell that
superstar of the night that its time to grow this crowd up. How? your
probably wondering now. Adult! thats how. “Why Bother” you ask well
that is the name of this Detroit duo’s fourth release. This is according to
their own press relese sheet “uneasy listening music for uneasy times.”
With names of songs like “I Feel Worse When I’m with You”, “Inclined to
Vomit” and “Plagued by Fear” I was a little scarred at first. However
giving this a listen through a few times it has really grown on me. The
first time I played this it took me by suprise. Its very brash, noisy,
and experimental. At times the beats are very spastic and chaotic other
times soothing baselines. The vocals are very 80’s new wave in the vein
of Missing Persons. This is very much a forward thinking dance punk
album. This will have people on the dance floor either raising their hands for
more or sending those people who were close to the edge of inebriation to
the bathroom. This album is for those wanting to step over the line.
