'Credulous! Credulous!' is a monster of song that would shine in any band's repertoire, fusing the arrhythmic math rock of Battles with the punk aggression of Liars and the melodic nous of At The Drive In. Beginning with a filthy deep bassline, the listener is welcomed with a sharp hiss before the tense, climbing and falling guitars tie the song down. It's so taut and precise that it's difficult to believe humans forged it; every note is in the 'right' place, while there are some fantastic hardcore breaks that fuse smoothly back into the 'math rock at will' call. They're over in the UK for a short tour in September, before returning for more dates in their native Ireland.
