There’s something about the way DETECTS glide between genres that makes every release feel like a surprise gift, being unpredictable yet reliably thrilling. Their newest full length record, MINUS, captures that magic perfectly. It's noisy but tuneful, gritty yet tender, instinctive while still acutely emotional. It works beautifully as a full journey, but each track also shines on its own.
Catch-up is such an instance. Beneath its hypnotic waves of synths runs a dark, restless pulse, with sharp-edged guitars tearing through and vocals brimming with feeling. It’s unmistakably DETECTS, in a manner that appears familiar in mood, but buzzing with the kind of energy that conveys the impression of being stumbling onto something brand new.
