On their new album M185 soar to artistic heights with all the easy-going attitude traditionally associated with Vienna, their native city. An intelligent indie rock mutation, the album constitutes a discreet and unobtrusive insurrection against the fleeting volatility of any trend you care to name, effortlessly catering to both classic pop music archivists and prospective party animals. Repetitive motorik elements and skilfully woven harmonies are fused into a danceable whole that evokes James Murphy and is saturated with the eclecticism of the noughties. And yet beneath the 12 new songs' krautrock-inspired surface also lurk the ominous chaos of New York's No-Wave-era and the detached chic of Talking Heads.
