Zom Zoms

One Brain If you're gonna go with goofy, synth-driven quickies, it might as well sound like Devo. Or, more accurately, Devo mixed with the Unicorns and the god-awful Les Georges Leningrads. One Brain is intelligent, quirky, and rhythmic, but it's also annoying, repetitive, and noisy. Zom Zoms' second release draws a clearer line between art and punk, but is it function over fashion, or the other way around?
