FLUXUS /// “Snakecharmed City” /// Navy Blue EP

A meaty track with something for everyone: the rhythmic bob and weave (funky, many-cornered, DFA-approved) provides a point of seamless entry for cowbell clatter and detached vox that quickly fall in line. Subsequent 8-bit squeals and clean electricity from a single-minded guitar are intrusive, or overkill, for the extra ten seconds it takes the song to hit its tropical shimmy of a chorus—an unlikely but effective genre salad.
