I have Voom's previous album (Hello, Are You There?) which came out almost 20 years ago! Buzz Moller is the only original member left in a band that started in the early 1990s.
This latest album (only their third) is catchy and infectious as all get out for the most part. There are some weird moments that don't quite work as well (hello Nightmare Man, Pianos and Mushrooms).
I guess it's a bit hodge-podge, it must be said. Given the massive gap between albums, it's inevitable that some older material gets reworked. That's not ideal if the aim is a cohesive album that is recorded in one hit out, with the same musicians.
That said, it is what it is and, for the most part, this is a triumph in a lo-fi NZ number 8 fencing wire tradition.
