Shit Robot
What Follows
8/10
It’s funny, 14 years into their existence, you’d expect DFA to show the odd wobble in their impeccable cool – but no, month-in-month-out they continue to release sheer class.
Sometimes it’s experimental (see Delia Gonzalez, Larry Gus), but mostly it’s new variations on synth-disco, with The Juan Maclean, Essaie Pas, and now the return of Irishman-in-Germany Shit Robot.
This isn’t the most distinctive album – it doesn’t have the killer hooks of Maclean (though who does?), or the gothic lushness of Pas – but it just oozes that classiness and each track creates its own luxurious dancefloor atmosphere, bubbling with subtle acid undertows and deceptively deadpan guest vocals.
It’s not going to change the world, but it does make the world a little better
