Merchandise - Totale Nite (2013)


Trying to revive post-punk without having any new ideas would come to nothing but a roundabout of cliches. Merchandise seem to know that impeccably. On their latest offering "Totale Nite" they've attained a musical bridge between the new wave sound of acts like the Teardrop Explodes, Men At Work, the Police, and a more indie, shoegaze variation of psychedelic/space rock of Moon Duo, Spaceman 3, and Comets On Fire; something like a sleek, less noise rock influenced version of A Place To Bury Strangers for the lack of better examples.
