Rearranged Face
Far Green Arcade
L.A.'s Rearranged Face releases the follow-up to 2021's 'A Rare Caged Fern' 12-inch, giving that anxious, art-fractured racket only slightly more room to unwind this time around. 'Far Green Arcade' features 11 tracks jammed out fully econo, a frenetic blur of whirring and beeping keys, taut rubber band bass, bee-in-bonnet vocals and urgently bashed beats, dished out in mostly sub-two-minute increments, never overstaying their welcome. The band's basic approach is still a jumpy mix of Devo-descended wiggly world rhythms, hip-swinging early 00s post-punk revival sass and the synth-flecked bounce of early new wave.
