Though Parts & Labor have been mainstays of the Brooklyn noise rock scene since their inception in the early `00s, few of their early efforts are as immediately accessible as RECEIVERS, an album that blends the aggressive textures and experimental bent of albums like STAY AFRAID with a cheerily melodic, unrepentantly pop-friendly sensibility that has little precedent in the group's catalogue. If the group's 2007 release, MAPMAKER, featured ghostly but anthemic vocals buried beneath the group's trademark wall-of-sound noisemaking, RECEIVERS boldly brings those choruses front and center, supplementing them with smartly bubbling, hook-filled bass lines and simple but effective percussion. RECEIVERS is a startlingly successful marriage of chaos and melody, and represents a promising change of direction for these seasoned Brooklyn noisemakers.
