Domino – WIGCD190
… Mouse on Mars and Smith … found the one-off inspiring enough to record
an entire album together. Tromatic Reflexxions, their (first?)
full-length, reflects the general tenor of that original collaboration …
the ideas presented … gain some cumulative force … In this way, the
record operates something like a Fall album, wearing you down with its
relentless energy.
… Von Südenfed occasionally sounds like Smith is knocking back at the
early LCD Soundsystem singles, … a crunchy, bouncy beat with a
bassline… Its grooves are harsh and noisy, often stuttering about … and
they strike a strong contrast to the accessible pop tendencies of Mouse
on Mars' clubbier recent material. Meanwhile, Smith's voice is
slathered in reverb…
