CD reviews: Doomsquad

Toronto-based Allie, Jaclyn, and Trevor Blumas follow up their reverberation-soaked debut, Kalaboogie, with a similarly ethereal effort - albeit one that derives its cool, affected distance via a combination of electronic noodling and pulsing bass-heavy rhythms, a mood the trio signalled on last year's EP, Pageantry Suite.

At time sounding like an impromptu party held in some dank jungle (Who Owns Noon In Sandusky?), elsewhere as if they have flown to the dark side of the moon (Solar Ass), they are clearly having fun playing with textures, although that occasionally comes at a cost to focus.

• Doomsquad. Total Time. Bella Union.

• Three and a half stars (out of five)
