It’s a refinement of what he accomplished with Sugar, and is arguably the most consistently engaging album he’s made since Copper Blue.

Just be thankful that the new Swans are as clever, as terrifying, and as proficient in their craft as presented on The Seer. There still aren’t any other bands out there quite like this.

The total runtime of Sorry is less than 20 minutes, and each song displays brash melodicism at whiplash tempos before transitioning into the next with frightening efficiency.

The music itself is a blend of glam rock, 50’s rock and roll, and the jangly guitar pop that is Captured Tracks’ trademark. These blurbs about Mac DeMarco’s debut EP, Rock And Roll Night Club, seem like they’d come together to form a rather strange, of-the-moment release, but the actual product turns out to be a fairly simple, enjoyable lo-fi guitar pop record that defies the expectations set up by its aesthetic choices.
