Transmission Zero is a band I grew extremely attached to over the years. Hailing from the city I live in, they were the first local post-rock outfit I knew and decided to support. Even if the band has changed immensely since then, the feelings stayed. And I'm very happy to say that their third album proves their versatile ability to create immersive post-rock compositions. And also angry ones.
Local Hero that opens the album is a somewhat misleading track: it is slower, built on the atmosphere and the Poles quickly state that this time, it's not the case. The Kids' Gloves Are Off are such a perfect single track: the composition is not easy, meanders from rapid cascades into slower fragments and back, but the first thought that brings to your mind is "how a post-rock song can have such a punk energy?!" And when I look at the cover art and the whole visual identification around the album, I can see this again: the subtle post-rock aesthetics is replaced with shouting, bright-colored, California punk-rock like images. I see it and I hear it. Something's changed.
The frantic drums at No Such Thing as a Fair Fight or the incredible flow of A Devil You Do further prove the way the artists chose to follow from now on. No wonder the band themselves state the following: "This might be our third record, but it feels like a >second debut< for us". And finally, the titles themselves suggest that Transmission Zero are rebelling against the society, the human nature and, I guess, against being ashamed of anything you've done and you feel proud about. Cheers to that!
