Yet another cold case, a Canadian one to be exact. Despite the noir album jacket, Rarefaction were relatively conventional practitioners of snyth-n-guitars modern rock. More new wave than indie, but despite a lack of mystique still pretty appealing. At their most stimulating this five-piece resemble what the Comsat Angels were attempting around the same time (think, 7 Day Weekend-era). "Open Up Your Heart," "All the Broken Seams," and the title cut are all fairly exemplary, and even when they stumble occasionally on Modern Man, I can't think of anything egregious enough going on here to dissuade you from giving this a whirl or two.
