A very abrasive release incomparable to Silver Girl's usual array of light-hearted space pop. Slowcoach, rather, has an edgy San Diego influence that looks up to
Drive Like Jehu. Occasional pop tendencies of
Modest Mouse and
Built to Spill save New Strategies... from a feedback-ridden scream fest, no matter how much the vocalist resembles
Mudhoney's
Mark Arm. This could simply be placed under the category of "post-rock," but
Slowcoach is far better than to be stuck in one genre.
