120 Days Of Amazing

I first sampled a song from Norway's 120 Days on Pitchfork a week or two ago, and I liked it enough to pass it by once and leave it alone for later. Then when I decided to download the new self-titled album (it's on eMusic now--go get it!), I didn't have exactly high expections. Luckily, those expectations have been greatly surpassed, and I have to say, the band's new record is fantastic.

120 Days' sound reminds me of what would happen if Suicide did vocals for Neu!, who in turn consulted Kraftwerk on their electronics. The album is nine songs too short, but each one feels whole, like there isn't a second wasted. Another plus is they're signed to Vice Records. Now I just need to figure out if and when they're coming to L.A., and hope their live show is just as good.
