The Argentinean post-punk trio are back with a new member, Manuela Ducatenzeiler on bass. Their new album, Friends & Lovers, delivers a sound that strikes with an electric feeling that is cool and sharp. In a sort of subtle way, this new record is a beautiful and haunting listen. It muddles the line between the distorted sounds made in the garage with the overwhelming, dark sensations of new-wave induced psychedelia. It’s a defiant attitude that invokes a nod toward The Slits, but with a borderline poppy flare—kind of like what one could see in the vein of Thee Oh Sees, but with the abrasiveness of a 1980s post-punk group. These are the factors that mandate the spark of devilish intrigue into Las Kellies.
