About Popular Shapes
Riding in the same Seattle sailboat as A Frames, The Intelligence and The Dipers, Popular Shapes are spitting out punk energy like loose teeth. Like a long-overdue trip to the bathroom, Popular Shapes send out paranoid pangs of excitement and relief. Buzzing guitars fight like school-children in the park while a throbbing melody is quickly extracted from the bass. Beehive-like in the furious activity, each Popular Shapes song flutters like a bat in daylight. Various nail-bitten acts are called to mind throughout a single track, from the jittery blues of The Fall and the bottle-tossing spunk of Le Shok to the hyperventilated pop of the Dickies. Popular Shapes toss more into a minute and a half than most groups put towards an entire album. It's assumed that the listener will be knocked to the ground on the first spin; only after half a dozen listens does it become possible to dissect and compute what is heard.
