Brooklyn’s petulant art punks Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser blow the lid off prog rock and early ‘90s disco with their debut album, a meandering collection of indie anthems ("Kids"), sexed-up shuffle songs ("Electric Feel"), and ominous end-of-days falsetto and synth ("The Youth"). The Of Montreal offspring lose their cool on more earnest fare here, but their irreverent take on rock stars and blowhards finds the duo at their best, all the while underscoring the importance of being ironic.
