While rabid, rapid punk and hardcore revivalism are the band's basic M.O., the album begins with some off-kilter noodling that wouldn't be out of place on a Jawbox record, and \"Hurry Up and Wait\" downshifts repeatedly into fakey, Minutemen-style jazz-rock. These stylistic forays establish the album's theme, which freely and repeatedly mixes rattling punk anthems and ethos with brazen experimentation. Elements of insular post-punk, odd and lurching time signatures, and some of the greatest basslines to ever appear on a punk label all pop up here and there on Auricle. Even if these punk-pop-whatever lab experiments don't always work, they're refreshing in a genre that usually sticks to two or three well-worn grooves. Vocalist Don H's cynical humor is welcome also, since it's always more rewarding to hear a punk\/hardcore vocalist swear and be angry than witness another recitation of sappy diary entries. Highlights on Auricle include the tightly wound \"Destructive Preservation\" (\"I just burned all my bridges\/And still I haven't f*ckin' learned\"), the title track, and \"Pocket Full of Posies.\" ~ Johnny Loftus","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036600074527,"sku":"689640112023","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/961e23d230e80eed2efbe5abfadef087_9a71acca-7943-48bc-8cc4-13dcf0349f13.jpg?v=1777957616","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/auricle","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
