Purr Bats = Purr Bats

They’re incomparable, sorry. Salt Lake’s best dour synth-disco-spazz band that will kill you with humor while they revive you with succinctness have so many tongues in cheeks it’d be an athletic event to french ’em. Purr Bats move in a more bass-driven, sinister, trip-hoppish, Massive Attack direction (“The Jollies to Time-Spent Ratio”) at times and a DJ-ish, disco direction at others (“The Poodle Short Circuit,” “Thick Dream Residue”) on March-released Bionic Fresh Moves. Eerie, jazz-fusion back-up vocals abound. The dark underskin of Purr Bats is beginning to overpower the face powder. Yes! info@rest30.com
