Peer Review: What Model Citizens, Too Late



What Model Citizens describe themselves as a "simultaneous assault on your hips and ears," and I'm not so sure that this description achieves its intended effect. I definitely get the dance-hall vibes (it feels like DEVO meets nu-disco meets acid house or something), but generally I'm unconvinced by the actual sounds put into the production of this track. The breathy and under-produced vocal tracks feel like they come out of the 80s in a bad way, and most of the synth tones / drum sounds have a sort of paltry or lo-fi texture which seems counterintuitive to the idea of dance music in general. I also don't really get why the track is 5 minutes long.
Sorry to be a hater! <3
