Music Review: !!!
Myth Takes
If there’s a modern soundtrack to the kind of wanton behavior witnessed at sweaty, shirtless, college dance parties, Myth Takes deserves a place on it. Previous records from the aptly-named dance-punk outfit (pronounced with three clucks of the tongue) had bursts of brilliance but couldn’t match the live performances, wherein seven men armed with searing guitars, horns and a trance-inducing rhythm section back up the indefatigable, party-starting Nic Offer. But that consistent live energy is sprinkled all over this new record, from the twangy, tribal title track to the album’s spacey, funky centerpiece, the courtship treatise Heart of Hearts. If it occasionally gets to be a bit repetitive, well, then you’re listening too hard … and not dancing hard enough!!! Alex Pasternack
