In the title track A-side, Vanilla Trainwreck tear off a fast-moving blear of jangling guitar, hard-bopping drums, and detached, nearly atonal singing, with the underlying bass-lines as the one piece of firmness to it. The dreamy arrangement makes its assault of electric guitar and drumming work, somehow, trailing off into a feedback fade following the finishing eruption. The band cover a Talking Heads track, “Electric Guitar”, on the B-side, slowing the pace while increasing the audio haze, gradually upping the pressure as they climb towards the end. An odd but pleasing pair, with some underexplored facets of the band on display.
