POW! is streaming “Liquid Daydream”, off their forthcoming album Fight Fire, out April 6, 2015 via Castle Face Records, here.
POW! is rechromed and ready to soundtrack your dystopian near future. Harsh neon synths keep battle with zipline guitars for space above a dark and teeming cityscape. Your guide sounds like he’s liable to lash out at strangers; he rants and mutters like a street urchin and chants like he’s warding off demons, voices or both. The songs are at their core razor sharp punk, but are fleshed out with inventive and catchy synth work – and the floating bits of atmospheric expansion between tracks only serve to heighten the paranoid atmosphere. These tunes have a sci-fi depth, a moody bite, and a startling clarity sharpened to a point by the wizard hand of Chris Woodhouse, who helmed the magnetization. Recommended listening for future-punk teens and grown adults alike.
