.:: Severe Exposure integrates the designs of the all-synth outing with the previous brash scissor rock, flashing a guitar band confident enough to delve heavily into disco beats and dramatic vocals. With the mood so established, plenty of panicky songs about animals, gaming and translocation are gathered in the album's full-bodied silvery mercurial radiance. "Rabies (Baby's Got The)" and "Simian Fever" are animal aggressive and messy, while sharing the synthetic digitone lusts of new wave.
.:: Like peanut butter combined with chocolate, the Rhode Island quartet Six Finger Satellite bring hard-to-laugh-at, ironic humor to the violence of their musical mission. The recipe for their new record, Paranormalized, combines equal dollops of nihilism, hate of all that is comfortable in music, and a multitude of synthetic bleeps and burps. With these tools, the band forges a sound and image that revel in the ironic rock star-isms and self-defeatism of indie rock at the same time as it waves around the flayed corpse of a scene built on sarcastic good will.
Whereas most indie rockers ironically wink at the fact that they'll probably forever have to keep their day jobs or deal with living with their parents, Six Finger Satellite put forth a joking posture of rock excess that somehow laughs at you instead of with you.
