It seems the band have absorbed the expertise lent to \u003cem\u003ePsychic 9-5\u003c\/em\u003e by producer \u003cstrong\u003eNathan Corbin\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eZebrablood\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBlazer Sound System\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eExcepter\u003c\/strong\u003e) and cracked on without missing a beat. The sense of space in these tracks is astounding; it’s like each part’s been meticulously carved down to its essence, hung to dry and reassembled in a vacuum. It’s all draped in \u003cstrong\u003eJonnine Standish\u003c\/strong\u003e’s syrupy, sobering, no-bullshit vocals - the magic ingredient in \u003cstrong\u003eHTRK\u003c\/strong\u003e’s sound. Imagine my delight to find both “Mentions” and “Dying Of Jealousy” here, two amazing singles which were teased what seems like ages ago… I only thing I could want for is that their B-sides be included (alright, let’s not get greedy!). Other highlights are “Dream Symbol,” the fatalistic “New Year’s Day” and tender coda “New Year’s Eve,” and the title track. \u003cem\u003eVenus In Leo\u003c\/em\u003e feels like a very grown-up album for a band that’s been through a hell of a lot of shit in 16 years (moving continents twice, the suicide of founding member \u003cstrong\u003eSean Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e) with a lot to reflect on, and we’re eternally grateful for the privilege to bear witness to it.
