CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE Vinilo y CD

Review: Heartened by the success of Dark Entries' 2016 reissue of the brilliant "Jump Over Barrels", original post-punk-era outfit Crash Course in Science has recorded a brand new album. Remarkably, Situational Awareness appears to be their first full-length proper, with their previous set, 2009's Near Marineland, gathering together previously unreleased recordings from 1981. Musically, it's typically forthright and quirkily funky, with the Philadelphia band gleefully joining the dots between aggressive post-punk rock, moody minimal wave, experimental electronica, mutant electro, industrial electro and notably dark synth-pop. It's naturally more polished than their early DIY material, but still sounds fuzzy and raw as hell.
