While the group’s EPs leaned heavily into baroque sounds on the likes of “Judgement Day”, there is certainly more variety here. “24 Hr Open” is full of angst and dirty riffs; its grungier sound is a departure, but one Picture Parlour slips effortlessly into. It is to their credit that they do not rely on tried and tested sounds and push themselves, often rising to the challenge. -LoBF
