Whimm - Fifth Column

It's been a hot minute since I'd seen this post-punk trio performing, so it was pleasing to see some subtle mutations in their sound — most notably by going for some deeper dynamics while surging through some relatively slower-paced material. Bassist Andrew Matthews really carries things melodically, giving vocalist Mounir Chami more room to hack away at the songs' edges with his guitar.
