WHO: Death From Above 1979
WHAT: Is 4 Lovers
WHY: DFA1979 is one of those bands that’s both hard to define and instantly familiar when you hear them: giving off an aggressive, threatening aura that’s also easy to dance to. It’s also just two Canadian dudes making all this noise. “Bursting onto the scene” in 2004 with their debut album, then taking a decade-long break, this band has stayed the course with each consecutive release, bringing juicy riffs and heavy distortion to their love songs. Their latest “Is 4 Lovers” is no different. It sounds tinnier and different than their previous albums, but it’s still tasty and packs quite a punch.
