Armed with post-punk riffs, disco rhythms and a wailing vocalist who can’t seem to figure out whether he’s here to entertain or feel bored, LA’s Funeral Party do a pretty decent job on their debut album. You won’t hear anything on “The Golden Age Of Knowhere” that you haven’t heard before on an album by The Strokes or The Rapture, but these guys do know how to keep things moving along at a fast pace and while songs do tend to become a blur as you work your way down the tracklisting, it’s tracks like “New York City Moves To The Sound Of LA” and “Just Because” that save this album from being a complete dud.
If you’re into reverb and a snotty attitude, then Funeral Party will no doubt suit your every need. Check them out at a hip club or trendy festival near you before – like their influences - they are no longer relevant.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
