Album Notes This five-song mini-effort by Los Angeles favorites Abe Vigoda is a testing ground for their wandering interests in noise, feedback, volume, vocal weirdness, and occasionally willful coherence. Opener "Don't Lie" is a practically pretty shoegaze exercise, veering melodically close to more majestic contemporaries like Asobi Seksu. "House," however, restores their expected herky-jerky post-punk percussion, before blasting into a squalling and feedback-driven second half. "Endless Sleeper" is a brief, instrumental intermission, before the final two cuts, "Wild Heart" and "Reaper," challenge listeners with monotone drone and loose-limbed, cymbal-crashing chaos. REVIVER is supremely recommended listening for those caught somewhere between indie-pop sweetness and abrasive amp destruction.
Editorial Reviews If SKELETON was island punk, REVIVER moves the band out to sea....It's disorienting, but charming, to hear their parts blend, settle and separate over and over again. Pitchfork
