Professor Murder Reviewed

Maybe there’s a full set of songs queued up, but right now it doesn’t matter. Professor Murder Rides The Subway is a perfect, concise set of (they don’t want you to mention) post punk pop getting its hands all over dub, psychedelia, and disco without ever grabbing a guitar. “Champion” recalls the first Liars album (as if one track could condense it) with spooky, Walkmen-ish feedback and gang-attack vocals. Could probably use a little less cowbell on “The Mountain,” Gene, though “Cameron’s New Color” gets hijacked by a similarly overused click track to propulsive effect.
