New Black is on something more dangerous than trucker speed.
"No genre jail can hold New Black. Walls quake at the sound of the jackhammer title track and the demolishing distortion of the album intro "Mere Cats," while the cutting guitars of the rolling boil "Khalil!" could saw through iron bars. This album is tense and relentless, and surprisingly well contoured, as evidenced by the curve-hugging burner "Nothing Scares Us" and the fun, flipped-out dance blitz "Big Haus." But nothing compares to the cat-and-mouse menace of "Devil In My Car," with its unsettling male/female vocal interplay and bleak Joy Division-like machinery. Though its hard to tell from the obscure lyrics, "Devil In My Car" sounds like a cautionary tale of a driver who picks up a hitchhiker and lives or maybe, dies to regret it. I guess when it comes to lyrics, psychological thrillers are the New Black. " - Check the full review from Lost at Sea
