Exit Angles - Iterate (LP Vinyl)

Self-recorded and self-released, Iterate is a masterful exercise in catharsis through the fine art of DIY. The threads of Dischord-inspired post-hardcore a la Fugazi and Lungfish established on their first LP remain fully intact, with a watertight rhythm section anchoring the floating, exploratory guitar work and Demko’s signature wail. Just as detectable is the influence of obtuse, challenging post-punk acts like The Fall and The Ex, showing through in the often chant-like nature of the songs, falling into satisfyingly deep musical and thematic grooves. Conversely, room aplenty is left for the joyously anthemic influence of almost-too-obvious-to-namedrop bands like The Clash, with no shortage of classically enjoyable choruses on display. Catch the band live this year, including a run of dates as direct support to Brainiac.
