"The peak intensity comes early on in a flighty first half."

Steadily developing their reputation for dazzling space-rock, Perth's Usurpers Of Modern Medicine continue to stretch for the stars.

Giving new meaning to the term "career high," House Of Reps lifts Everything Is Nothing into the stratosphere with superhuman ease. Mercury In Motionless Space sustains the momentum with undulating electronic riffs, while Singularity spells out their anti-gravity manifesto in the plainest terms. The peak intensity comes early on in a flighty first half, but Everything Is Nothing still represents the peak of their flight trajectory to date.
