Fifty-word review

Tarot Classics

4.4 out of 10

Surfer Blood have taught us that being bored and indifferent is fine so long as you’re skinny and stylish. Tarot Classics wins the beauty pageant but blows the talent show. When they’re not doing a poor job at being energetic (“Miranda” is simply annoying), monotone vocals and vacuous rhythms prevail.

Reminds us of New Order / Japandroids / The Cure
