Luxxury is a recent acquisition for electro-synth-punk
label Omega Point; this EP was originally released on the band's own
Nolita label. 80s-ish dance number "All the Way (Boy vs. Girl
Mix)" is probably the most strong moment on this EP; an opus of
insensitivity, it dissects the one-night stand in meticulous detail
("I have no use for all your talk 'bout what tomorrow brings/Baby you
should try and use that tongue for more important things.")
Guitar-heavy "Understood" is another standout; it's a pretty engaging
number, considerably better than the relatively bland (though
sometimes considerably funny) "Drunk" and "Disco Noir."
Ultimately this is an okay electro/club/rock EP for Omega Point, but
there's much better stuff out there. For fans of the label's
sound, this could be worth picking up - otherwise, stick to the finer
stuff. 71%
