With its debut full-length offering, Vancouver two-piece Nü Sensae makes a convincing case that grunge and riot grrrl deserve a re-evaluation. Cramming 12 songs into a feverish 29 minutes, Daniel Pitout’s tumbling drums propel the blown-out bass guitar and gravelly growls of singer Andrea Lukic for a blast back to the angriest and best parts of the 1990s.
Throughout TV, Death and the Devil, the self-described “voodoo punks” maintain a breakneck pace, broken up only ever so slightly with the loud-quiet-loud trade-offs of “(Boots)” and slower-paced stage-stalker “Zimple.” The band’s bracket abuse continues with the crust-punk banger “(Terribolt),” the descending riff storm of “Worm(s)” and the possibly Beavis and Butt-Head-referencing rocker “(Hardholio).” Amidst all this mischief, “Cat’s Cradle” stands out as the pick of the litter, with its clanging hi-hats and near-anthemic tune sure to incite a teenage riot.
