The album begins with the lovely "Hollow-Bodied Evening," which sets the listener at a sign-less live-music club where all the boys sport ironic Sgt. Pepper mustaches and all the girls peak out from behind unkempt, pixie shags. Then the instantly memorable "Pop Pop" and "Snow Fell (It's Night)" feature a shimmering confection of layered melodies and a clever arrangement of whip-lash dynamic shifts. The throbbing pulse of "Contents of My Head," "Calling The Embassy" and "The Mark" swim through distorted guitars and Motown drums reminiscent of Velocity Girl's finest moments.
The Consultants are definitely a band to watch out for and "Work From Home" is an album that will provide essential mix-tape material for years to come.
