The incomparable Fucked Up have outdone themselves with this double-album epic, their debut full-length for Merge. "Never sink and never hide / They tried to break our dream, but child: / Joy Stops Time". I was sent an unfinished version of Dose Your Dreams so that I might contribute string parts. I couldn't stop listening to the rough mixes I received. A friend asked me how the record was. I replied, "My God, Fucked Up have made their Screamadelica." And psych-rock-groove it is. The drums mixed wide, propensity for drones, for delay pedal, for repetition, groove. The politics and aesthetics of hardcore married to an "open format" approach to genre. Elements of doo-wop, krautrock, groove, digital hardcore. "None of Your Business Man" opens the album in familiar enough territory, a sax-assisted exit from an office space.
