Album Review: Prinzhorn Dance School - Home Economics

"The duo embraces modern minimalism with their austere drum and bass compositions delivering rigid grooves that move with a sense of foreboding."

English disco punks Prinzhorn Dance School return with a lesson in home economics in this six-track mini-album.

The duo embraces modern minimalism with their austere drum and bass compositions delivering rigid grooves that move with a sense of foreboding. It feels grim and menacing but getting atmospheric they start to deliver deeper, uneasy listening that becomes immersive. Rather than just being archetypally punk and flipping an enraged bird at the world with frenzied outbursts, cuts like Let Me Go suggest a certain fragility that’s accompanied by tear-stained melancholia.
