Push-Pull – Between Noise and the Indians
Push-Pull is a Bloomington, Indiana trio that has taken the definition of “erratic” to heart and completely ran with it. Their music is a mixture of oddness that spans the depths of progressive rock, post-punk, and electronics to create a sound that is…well just plain weird at times but impressively tuneful and melodic in many ways too. Between Noise and the Indians is the bands follow up to their debut album Hello Soldier that appeared on Sickroom Records a couple years ago. Joyful Noise will be handling the release duties this go around however, which have the record set to be released on June 23rd. On it, the band seems to thrive on lulling the listener in with catchy yet powerful pop slowly wrapping them around their finger before flicking them right back off by busting out waves of sludgy bass and riffage that hits so quick that it seems nearly unfair. It almost reminds me of when I was when high school and I walked into journalism class fearing if the teacher was going to tear my face off due to her very evident bi-polarity. While they are obviously not the first band to choose this path, they remain very much separated due in part to their excellent musicianship that is routinely displayed on the album. Good stuff all around.
