Album: Does It Offend You, Yeah?, You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into (Virgin)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The surf-punk of "Attack of the 60ft Lesbian Octopus" is dance-guitar music, while the cowbell and the vocal yelps of ex-DFA 1979 member Sebastian Grainger on "Let's Make Out" mean it holds its own against the best of LCD Soundsystem's indie-electro. But the rest of the first album by the Reading-based new ravers DIOY,Y? is split into roughly equal parts scuzzy electro stompers and poppy guitar songs, and doesn't fuse the two inclinations successfully. Still, whichever end of the synth-guitar spectrum your preferences lie, there's at least half a good album here.
