Akin to country-cronies Viet Cong, they're palpably post-punk conglomerates -- markedly when it comes to vocalist Tim Darcy; who manages to summon Bryan Ferry's wounded vibrato, Andy Gill's fun-free deadpan, Mark E. Smith's cluttered mutter, David Byrne's bug-eyed solicitude. Not that his pliable mimicry isn't really damn riveting. It is, matter-o-fact, so fortunately the driving+noisy shard-squeal guitar tunefulness more than lives up: tangly full-band dynamism is a wonderful thing, and their ears are wide open when it comes to the whole tuneful thing. They've even got a sorta-master/centerpiece: "Beautiful Blue Sky", whereupon they're rendered, well, beautiful, and Darcy temporarily transforms into a social-nicety-spouting pull-string doll. Duly noted from title track: "I'm talking out of my ass."

Tipsy punk at its most artsy and therapetucially counterproductive.

Much more focused than the debut, Sun Coming Down still focuses on delivering blistering post-punk riffs among an artsy aesthetic and some noisy moments, but this time the production is less rough around the edges, and the least enthralling tracks have been traded by more dynamic passages. Oh, and "Beautiful Blue Sky". Vocalist ain't as interesting as he thinks he is tho.

Very nice Art/Post Punk album with great energy and often hilarious lyrics. The vocals sell this for me.
