Mar 4, 2016If United Crushers isn’t exactly optimistic, its vitality suggests that feeling friendless (“Fish On The Griddle”), cast aside (“Lose You”), or trapped on your sucky street corner (“Melting Block”) need not ruin your weekend.
-
Mar 3, 2016Throughout, United Crushers teases with an array of complex stick-work and trickling synths. Everything suggests that Poliça have finally drawn straws and found something to stick with--and they definitely haven’t picked the shortest.
-
Mar 3, 2016It all adds up to a record that bristles with mournfulness and melodious joy. Older, wiser, but far from jaded.
-
Mar 2, 2016Despite its heavy subject matter, this record sparkles and whirrs in a way that is very easy to fall in love with.

-
Feb 24, 2016More often than not, United Crushers settles into a groove and gets comfy.
