Album Review: MofoIsDead - Brisneyland

StarStarStarHalf Star

"Sharper experimentation in band dynamics with scattered instrumentation and grittier breakdowns."

Brisbane's MofoIsDead have followed up their 2012 debut with six new cuts that pull back on their previous soaring hard rock style for a sharper experimentation in band dynamics with scattered instrumentation and grittier breakdowns. 

Led by the incredible style vocal of Paul Galagher, each track has a quirky sense of separation from the rest, be it the distorted riff and dirty bass lines of Semidrop, the frantic drum patterns of The Altruist, or the fantastic, dreamily subdued melody in Mournography. Brisneyland is a gleaming beacon of a band that appears to be on cusp of something spectacular.
