Surf Break From Jamaica Krautrock while ‘Cool’ pairs sharp twang

while ‘Cool’ pairs sharp twang with sarcasm-drenched fawning over insufferable and self-serious cool kids

building songs out of sonic scraps from remote places

the melodies that worm their way into your ears

From the opening bellows of "White Lady Funerals" to the chaotic one-and-a-half-minute assault of "Assassinate (and TINPOTS)

with its boom-bap production and raw energy
