you've got to make a choice

There’s a healthy amount of aggression on Good Men Are Monsters, the new two track EP from local post-punk outfit Mice in Cars.  It’s just not always on the surface.  Opener “Exit Interview” is mostly sustained menace, drawing tension from a muscular rhythm section that threatens rather than pummels.  It sounds a little like June of 44.  ”Six Months on Mir” ditches the restraint, slashing and burning through its runtime loudly and recklessly.  That one’s a bit closer to Rodan on the ’90s Louisville post-whatever continuum.
