The Volitains' last release, 'Underground', had me electrified with excitement, and it was always going to be a tough job of providing a follow-up that equalled the standard they'd set. With this double A-side, they've ably succeeded, revealing different facets of their character at the same time.
'Lovely Bones' is at the slower end of the tempo spectrum, but cranks the sleaze up to eleven. It's sultry, sassy and has spadefuls of swagger and lip-curling attitude. 'Joy' adopts a magnificently cool NY No-Wave punk stance and stomps along, sneering and snarling all over the place. In combination, it all points to a band who are really ones to watch. The Volitains are seriously cool. That's not an opinion, but a fact.
