The Dissociatives

Following on from 2000’s experimental EP, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rock, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns and renowned electronica artist Paul Mac have once again reconvened to forge angst grunge rock with wistful melodic electronica. For the most part though, it’s John’s musical background which is sacrificed most, the duo opting to keep things bright and wistful with a distinct injection of pop. They’re at their best when there’s a psychedelic flow, such as on ‘Horror With Eyeballs’ and ‘Lifting The Veil From The Braille’. All in all, this is a pleasant surprise.
