Libido

Although they occasionally stumble over the course of their debut, Libido has found an intriguing fusion of American and British indie-rock on Killing Some Dead Time. Picking up the spiky, spiteful tunefulness of the edgier Brit-pop bands, Libido tempers their melodies with sheets of noise and poetic lyrics. At times, their pretensions get the better of them, but the best moments of the record demonstrate that the band has considerable potential.
