Brooklyn based post-punk Two-Man Giant Squid always love to sneak in a bit of psychedelic rock into their songs. Their new single Progress covers all the bases: snarling vocals, swirling guitar drenched in effects, and first and foremost an abrasive attitude to make sure they come off as being cooler than most other people. They can bottle anger really well, but listen more closely and find that they are likely to own all the albums by Love and that West Coast melodicism has wriggled its way in.
