Sound Team - Movie Monster

Movie Monster, Sound Team's first proper full-length CD and Capitol debut, celebrates that tension with 11 songs that never fail to find a perfect alchemy of weirdness and directness, of melodic zing and rhythmic clang, of smart narrative songwriting and joyful abstract noise. An underground favorite thanks to self-issued releases, fans on MP3 blogs and live shows with the likes of Arcade Fire and the Walkmen, Sound Team already feel completely formed. From the oddly satisfying tease of the 73-second album opener "Get Out" to the layered hooks of "Born to Please" to the haunted buzzing of the title track, Movie Monster is an unnervingly accomplished record: epic, deeply textured, and catchy-as-can-be, when catchy is what it wants to be.
