They’ve been compared to Radiohead and Wilco, but the only thing Brice Woodall and the Positrons really have in common with either of those bands is that you never really know what they’re going to do next – chords, melodies, and beats are all relative down here in the Sine Wave Sea, and trying to piece together a cogent narrative out of the lyrics is not for the faint of heart. But if they’re guilty of occasionally being too cute for their own good, they’re at least original, and how many times can you say that in pop music? Although it’s hard not to wish they’d stop trying so hard once in a while, or at least come up with something resembling a hook, it’s equally difficult not to respect all the hard work and/or large amounts of interplanetary travel that must have gone into these 11 songs. You can’t dance to it, and it’s only pop music in the loosest sense of the term – in fact, it’s hard to determine just what kind of music it is – but if you’re in the mood to drop in and get way out, you could certainly do worse than Sine Wave Sea.
