Receivers
“Receivers is Parts & Labor's most ambitious record-- and it finds them growing to a four-piece with the addition of guitarist Sarah Lipstate-- but its still finds the Jagjaguwar band stubbornly reconstructing punk anthems from the same raw parts.”
Rise, Rise, Rise
“The split release is an interesting phenomenon of independent music-- it's like a recommendation from a friend, a band you like endorsing a band *they* like. But while it seems like a new split single or EP sees release every day, split full-lengths aren't so common. There's a reason for this: EPs and singles tend to serve as stopgaps in the rock world, small offerings to keep the masses entertain”
Stay Afraid
“Throbbing with cutting, ragged overtones and distortion, the Jagjaguwar trio's second album manages to make noise anthemic.”
