Convenience

Pill, “Convenience” (Mexican Summer, 2016)
Taut, wiry no-wave/postpunk attack here, but they do something distinctive with it. For one, there’s a lot of textural/spatial variation; barbed-wire guitar storms alternate with drumless, almost à capella hauntings. And the gender-identity-as-barroom-brawl turmoil of their very contemporary feminist militancy finds a tight-fitting musical echo in the volatile fluidity of their sound.
