What came first, the Uranium Club or the egg?
While this group has seemingly had a massive impact on Geelong (and other places around the country I guess), I only ever heard their previous three albums in passing. Their fourth sounds to me like they’ve graduated from the share house scrambled egg to something a little more elevated, like a poach or rolled into a sophisticated yet delicate French omelette.
Egg jokes aside (they’re becoming a bit predictable now, I’m sorry to all), there does seem to be a development here from the hyperactive post-Devo/Pylon angularity of their past with a more tonally spacious and atmospheric and giving the songs a bit more space to move. Not to mention to spoken word and synth led tracks that also seem to recall Cassandra Jenkin’s LP from a few years back.
