Love Of Diagrams

Harmonically dissident ditties pop and fizzle and confuse each other once in a while with deliberate restlessness. Australia’s Love of Diagrams maintains that aesthetically bipartisan Siamese monster thinking pop sympathizers drool for: the impulsive punk fever-energy on one side, thoughtful art school musicianship on the other, not too practiced to be dead inside. Antonia Sellbach’s vocals conjure Siouxsie and the Banshees, the music behind her some cloudy-day amalgamation of Pixies and Flock of Seagulls (yes, Flock of Seagulls), glamour punk and New Wave, but without all that irony that usually accompanies those modern forays into 80s throwback melody making. Cool simplicity is balanced by good ideas, sparse lyrics make each word weighty in ways you’d think they should be, and with their recent sign to Matador, fan bases assemble on the Myspace periphery to begin their new worshipful rapport. Who knew Australia had this to give? 

Thier new EP is out now, here’s a sample:

    The description found here is laughably and absurdly verbose, rendering it approximately vapid.
