If you were to tell me that by the end of 2013 of my favorite releases of the year would be from a band comprised of drums and two bass players I’d probably give you a bit of an odd blank stare. However, the full-length from Tower Defense is exactly that and I find myself revisiting it regularly.
There’s something about it that reminds me of a few Dischord bands from the late 90’s like Faraquet or Q and not U – it’s a good balance of melodic but just a little chaotic too. There’s also a sense of musicians enjoying themselves – which I can only assume to be true during the making of this.
All and all, a fine entry in anyone’s Best Of 2013 and I don’t mean that in the Local category either. This is a fine fine record period.
