Fast Car / Man on the Moon

This release finds !!! (Chk Chk Chk) performing a fascinating sonic alchemy, taking two of the most recognizable radio staples of the late 20th century and submerging them in the sweat-soaked, neon-hued waters of New York City dance-punk. It is a record that lives in the tension between the deep, familiar melancholy of the original songwriting and the relentless, physical optimism of a house beat. The result is something that feels both deeply nostalgic and startlingly modern, as if these songs were always meant to be heard in a strobe-lit basement rather than on a car radio.
