CRITICAL ENERGY - The Big Jets 7"

Limited edition of 200 copies.

Highly recommended.

New musical project from Wireheads alumni Dom Trimboli and Liam Kenny. The group was conceived as a long distance collaboration between the band mates, building on their mutual love of lo-fi, punk, and left-field pop to create a uniquely wonky brand of DIY rock and roll.

Opening track The Big Jets is an explosive pop medley featuring slippery riffs and a see-sawing vocal melody with cryptic lyrics referencing catamarans, pink camellias and some sort of existential gambling. Following on is Dolphins: a glam-punk rocker combining pop hooks and evocative stream of consciousness vocals over spiky guitars and synth freakouts.

As evidenced by Dom's work with Wireheads, his delivery and lyrical content often reminds of Mark E. Smith.
