***Such a NICE FACE, what’s with the cold shoulder? The second coming from this habitually antagonizing solo recording outfit, originally part of Brooklyn’s shrouded colony of home-recording pioneers of the new century, is here at last, and it’s hard to cover up the fact that we’re boiling over with synth/guitar ecstasy. Where their contemporaries have faded into dull, lifeless reinventions of their initial, rogue directions, Nice Face has risen to the top of the heap, continually cranking darkness, tension, and animosity into invigorating bursts of seething electronic punk that’s impossible to shake. From the shreds of sickening pop abrasion as evidenced in their first singles, to their mind-blowing Immer Etwas debut LP on Sacred Bones, Nice Face is a force not easily contained, as you’ll soon find yourself revisiting each track’s endlessly hypnagogic grooves.
