Whoa. Love Ends Disaster! have recently been racking up
good press by the boatload, drawing comparisons to The Fall and
scenemates Bloc Party. While Stores for the Dislocated
only offers a five song glimpse of the band, everything certainly
seems to be in working order. This is exciting, angular,
absolutely intense indie rock/post-punk stuff, taking major
cues from Gang of Four. The songs are complex but
incredibly melodic, making for a hip, cutting-edge sound.
"Warning: Robots" introduces a certain epic feel that
really works well for the band - I notice some Interpol in the
vocals, as well. The tense energy of "TV" is a perfect
example of what Love Ends Disaster! is about, though I prefer
the spasmodic tunefulness of "Ginko Disco," which reminds me
subtly of the French Kicks. Overall, I've found Stories
for the Dislocated to be an extremely impressive EP from a bunch
of guys I had never heard of before. If Love Ends Disaster! have
the chops to create something like this, I can't imagine how
incredible their debut album will be.
