'It's a Myth'

In the time it takes you to read this blurb, you could have listened to two songs by the band Sneaks, the musical project of Eva Moolchan. Maybe three of them. It’s a MythMoolchan’s second album under the Sneaks name, is minimalist to the point of skeletal. The songs are brief, declarative sketches. Slick bass licks, retro drum machines, lyrics that are like encoded chants—that’s it, that’s all there is to it. The hooks are spiky and odd and spoken, not sung.  It’s a bizarre approach to post-punk, but the sheer immediacy of it will intrigue you, then confound you, then make you dance. Listen to “Look Like That,” because it’s the best embodiment of what Sneaks does so well. Then listen to the whole damn thing, because it’s only 18 minutes long.
