I never even thought the Joy Division comparison worked for the first album. Banks' vocals could get into the same flat, dire range as Ian Curtis', but very little else lines up. The rhythms are too propulsive, the arrangements too lush. With Antics, all those comparisons should really be put to bed.
Show was great last night--good till about the middle, at which point they tore up "Not Even Jail" and annihilated the second half of the setlist in fine fashion. "Specialist" was a great treat.
