Album Review: The Gotobeds - Blood // Sugar // Secs // Traffic

StarStarStar

"The new wave revival rock style still rings true."

The Gotobeds' second record Blood // Sugar // Secs // Traffic is the expansion of the pop elements from their debut Poor People Are Revolting.

Pleasingly, the new wave revival rock style still rings true but it's now stacked on top of stronger melodies and harmonious hooks to much greater effect and is echoed throughout the tracks. With the exception of some experimental moments such as Red Alphabet, this is the fun and stupid bouncing guitar indie-rock sound that they've established themselves on.
