Celebrators Deliberation LP
Twenty-one cuts of primo studio experiments that dabble in spacey dub vocals, jittery post-punk guitar rhythms, indie jangle, and garage punk. It all sounds incredible, and CELEBRATORS are particularly good at finding a groove and riding it for a minute or two before debarking onto another idea. As a whole, it’s an upbeat, danceable affair that kitbashes elements from MINUTEMEN, CLEAR CHANNEL, and DEVO and gives you egg flavor without the whole omelet. It’s evident that the elusive wisps of practice room magic are captured here, and Deliberation runs like a pristinely recorded sketchpad that is worth checking out.
