stockholm's audionom are a krautrock and new-wave influenced group who make their return to ideal with superior. after an opening piece ('audionom') that evokes the primal synthesis of cluster records, 'girls & boys' launches into the album's first all-out rocker, sounding like joy division fronted by einar from the sugarcubes. next comes 'imposter', which jacks the intensity up a stage further, dissolving the production into an abandoned industrial warehouse of cold scandinavian echo. by now you'll notice that repetition is a key element of the band's sound, not just in terms of their motorik policy on riff construction, but in terms of the lyrics too - the repeated phrasings and mantra-like quality of 'run into the sun' serves the track well however, helping to instil a steely, suicide-like menace to proceedings. a solid, well-constructed electro-punk album from the always interesting ideal imprint.
