Static Moves is Belgian group Sukilove’s fourth studio album but somewhat unlikely, given the soundscape it contains, this impressive slab of noise-pop benefits from being recorded almost entirely live, its rough edges failing to detract from the immediacy of the sound. Lead by Pascal Deweze, the band wrote as they recorded and while in places the songs meander and lose focus, overall it feels fresh and spikey with a big wall of sound acting as a backdrop to prettier guitar and keyboard melodies.

Vinyl junkies should be pleased to note that Jezus Factory Records will release a vinyl version of the album on November 2^nd and the band play two London dates at Fighting Cocks and the Hobgoblin on December 1^st and 3^rd respectively. On this basis, they should be well worth investigating.
