Fucked Up - Dose Your Dreams LP

The incomparable F***ed Up have outdone themselves with this double-album epic, their debut full-length for Merge. From the Owen Pallett-penned bio:

I was sent an unfinished version of Dose Your Dreams so that I might contribute string parts. I couldn't stop listening to the rough mixes I received. A friend asked me how the record was. I replied, "My God, F***ed Up have made their Screamadelica." And psych-rock-groove it is. The drums mixed wide, propensity for drones, for delay pedal, for repetition, groove. The politics and aesthetics of hardcore married to an "open format" approach to genre. Elements of doo-wop, krautrock, groove, digital hardcore.
