Rearranged Face Rear Ranged Face EP
Any time a synthed-up punk band can remind me of either side of the 1979 gem “Trust in Technology” by ADAPTORS is a great time. REARRANGED FACE manages to recall both on their first offering for their hometown label, Los Angeles’s always fantastic Under The Gun Records. Their previous releases on Tomothy perhaps had a touch more post-punk to them, which makes these new freakouts perfect for Under The Gun. The egg-punk moniker would feel lazy here, as the sounds on this EP reach beyond that umbrella term. Oftentimes, anything labeled “egg” feels almost intentionally ephemeral, whereas REARRANGED FACE is crafting sounds that may harken ears back to the late ’70s but feel like they could be referenced in fifty years the other direction.
