Every Move a Picture

This is a rather solid EP—if you like guitars, synthesizers, and dance rock. That isn’t usually my favorite music, but this EP is infectious. “Signs of Life,” the disc’s opening track, is a rock–electric hybrid that just bleeds energy, which the group is very adept at building in their songs. Think Eddy Grant and “Electric Avenue” with a touch of Bloc Party. “Chemical Burns” has more of a garage-band funk feel, but it still chugs along like a freight train at a toe-tapping pace. “Saint John’s Night” is solid; it has a sheen of the Killers’ symphonic leanings, but not enough to distract you. If their followup LP (Heart=Weapon) continues the trend, consider it a keeper.
