Album Review: Lurch & Chief - Wiped Out

Lurch & Chief's second EP is a bold step in the right direction, made up of equal parts grit, angst and cathartic choral refrains. Their '90s grunge aesthetic lends itself to more traditional rock syncopation, but at the same time channels a newer and more progressive sound. From the loose electric guitar riffs in We Are The Same, to the brazen intro of Mother/Father, there's a sense of overall versatility. The ongoing vocal repartee between Hayden Somerville and Lili Hall delivers emotional magnitude and adds depth to crashing percussion. These six tracks command attention.
