Washington Post Punk trio BRNDA sound a bit like Athens, Georgia legends B-52's and Pylon might have had they decided to form a band togther back in the day.
Results are slightly mixed on their latest album Do You Like Salt? They're clearly having a wail of a time and that's generally infectious but sometimes it's all rather jarring for my tastes.
Still, there's plenty of frenetic energy going right the way through. Third track Perfect World is just fabulous, reminding me of Luscious Jackson at their best.
B-52's are the clearest, upfront influence and that can never be a bad thing. Not a record I'll return to as a whole I don't think but there are plenty of individual tracks I'll spin again.
