 24’s Hopscotch Fever\, Cincinnati’s Artificial Go return with ten more
  tracks of existential post-punk chamber pop. Recorded at Lambda Research 
 and the haunted attic of the band’s house\, the core trio of Angie Willc
 utt\, Micah Wu\, and Cole Gilfilen have traded the sparse jangle of their 
 debut for a broader\, fuller sound this time around. Musical Chairs deftly
  meshes the angular excitability of Hopscotch Fever with a spectral warmth
  and expensiveness able to encompass acoustic guitars\, Wu’s almost meta
 physical funk bass lines\, tape loops and blips and bleeps\, a guest spot 
 by Eric Dietrich (of The Drin and Sorry Eric) on saxophone\, and Gilfilen
 ’s hip moving boom-bap drumming add to the excitement. What’s more\, t
 he band’s comfort with each other (they live together for chrissake) and
  growing confidence in their collaborative creative process is evident thr
 oughout. From the live-take “Red Convertible” (with its layered recurs
 ive structure - the musical equivalent of a kid laughing and spinning in c
 ircles just for fun) to the lunch-break-composed and after-work-recorded 
 “Circles.” On Musical Chairs Artificial Go expands their stylistic pal
 ate while retaining the New / No / Whatever Wave weirdness that charmed li
 steners on their debut —a group effort to be sure\, but spearheaded by A
 ngie Willcutt’s singular voice and clever\, adroit lyrics. In Willcutt
 ’s hands\, the struggles\, and at times terrors\, of our current age are
  playfully subverted with agile world play and dynamic vocalization that m
 oves from sweet and dreamy to cartoonishly exaggerated as she charts an em
 otional course through such topics as the difficulties of playing the role
  of “woman” in a misogynist world (“Playing Puppet”) or the injust
 ice of anthropocentric hierarchy (“Tightrope Walker”). Musical Chairs 
 is serious music not meant to be taken too seriously\, a playful act of re
 sistance\, a meditation on the good and bad of this world\, and ultimately
  a remarkable statement on the continuing growth of Artificial Go. -Ben Mi
