Molded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus, Ohio, three-piece Golomb – comprised of Mickey Shuman (vocals/guitar), Xenia Shuman (bass/guitar) and Hawken Holm (drums) – channel Midwest friction into an album that seeks to find a genuine connection. Bounding through bluster like Loop one minute and hunkered down like Pixies pummeling pops soft spots at Fort Apache the next. The underlying buzz on Real Power dips a few miles south of Columbus to channel Daytons favorite sons, stitching together some clear-eyed clamor from the GBV playbook. The band lays it bare on Dog with a slow slink that builds toward the singed elegance of Spiritualized and a lyrical labyrinth thats cut and pasted into a Burroughs-esque blur of rock motifs. The song peaks in pure maelstrom with a glorious glut of feedback foaming out of the speakers. The familiar specter of The Velvets rears its head in the shambolic beat of the title track, and Other Side Of The Earth gets gooey with dub, but never loses the bands ability to feed the fray. Then, they wind guitar around their rhythms with the grace of early Built To Spill on Be Here Now, letting the sax twirls of Henry Ross send the song into the ether.
