SSM likes to flirt. This follow-up to their acclaimed 2006 self-titled debut finds Szymanski (voice, keyboards), Shettler (drums, programming), and Morris (voice, guitar) further expanding their sonic horizons and fearlessly morphing genres. Recorded in record time straight to seven-track tape, the Detroit post-punk trio once again defies conventional wisdom and blazes its own trail. "Break Your Arm for Evolution" is not merely a title but an earnest philosophy: the psychedelic kraut rock 'n' roll of "Regenerate Your Face" transforms itself into the synth pop of "Let's Make a Baby", which metamorphoses into the indie alternative dance "Start Dancing" and quickly burst into the punk rock "Emotional Tourist", all the while challenging the traditional conventions of pop songwriting. The result leaves one with little time to catch their breath but ultimately flirts with genius. "This is Garage Rock 2.0." - Blogcritics. "Awash with bursts of energy and moves into industrial punk territory with krautrock influences." - The Guardian. "A blend of guts and brains making it truly memorable." - Detroit Free Press. "Brilliant, absolutely inspired." - AMG
