This review is from: Invisible Deck (Audio CD)

On their 2002 debut, Purely Evil, Brooklyn's Rogers Sisters - Jennifer on guitar, Laura on drums, and Miyuki Furtado, who's neither a Rogers nor a "sister," on bass - offered an occasionally thrilling garage-fuzz take on the then-burgeoning spastic Gang of Four-mat. Their latest is more sonically diverse, and more enticing. You can dance to opener "Why Won't You," but its mix of tube-warmed guitar slashes, thick bass rumble, and thumping backbeat is more Led Zep boogie than the ol' post-punk herky-jerk. "Money Matters" nicks its initial riff from the intro to "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (which Joy Division stole from Pete Townshend, so it's a wash), but the song quickly slips into Pixies/Breeders guitarsplatter-and-silence dynamics. The Rogers Sisters do better when the two siblings take the vocal lead with their sometimes sugary, sometimes shouty harmonies, as opposed to Furtado's sporadic Fred Schneider-isms. And they're at their best when the voices of all three blend, as they do so hypnotically in the woozy, flute-dappled midnight crawler "Little World."
