Contrivance of jangly folk and arena post-punk symptomatic of Curve owing to singer “Sara” imitating Toni Halliday’s adenoids on “Arcadia”. The bulk of these doings are about as joy-inspiring as a kitten in a garbage disposal, the ho-hum melodies stuck in a holding pattern awaiting hooks from on high that never materialize, even when they execute some Yes-like harmoning in “In the Past.” Order at Buttermilk Records
