Prinzhorn Dance School: "You Are the Space Invader" (Track Review)

Even when they step out of the dance world to offer some rock, you shouldn't question the DFA's taste. I can't legally stop you, but it's objectively wrong, and you're going to sound dumb.
The latest and most inappropriately named addition to the label's menagerie is the stripped-down U.K. trio, Prinzhorn Dance School. This debut single charms with little more than a bass line and empty space. Drums do a bit of subliminal timekeeping, although they're primarily reserved for explosive emphasis. Tobin Horn plays cult leader, calmly asserting deranged claims about CCTV stealing your soul and about how white bread causes cancer, then orders a feedback squall to "tell 'em." Suzi Horn is the true believer/chief enforcer, shouting along to discourage factual dispute. Every few seconds a cymbal scrape like sharpening knives erases any lingering desire to disagree.
There's something off about these kids. Best to play along. . .
