Description
Our take: Debut release from this one-person (as far as I can tell) project from Montreal, Canada. When I first listened to Pressure Pin, I thought they must be from Cleveland because they sound a lot like the Cruelster / Knowso / Perverts Again universe of bands. Based on my research, those similarities appear to be mere coincidence, but that being said, anyone who loves those Cleveland bands distinctive way with a herky-jerky rhythm should give this a try. Ive seen a few people refer to Pressure Pin as egg punk, and I suppose I can see why I hear Devos focus on interesting rhythms and there are some synths in the mix, but Superficial Feature has a more classic sound and seems less of the moment than much of what I call egg punk. The production is rich and the songs feel well-developed rather than like a tossed-off imitation. Every track is dense with twists, turns, and excitement, but Limited Movement is the highlight, closing this strong EP by working some solid pop hooks into the melee.
