With their third album, Washington, D.C.'s Bad Moves have expanded their foundational artistic identity – a shell of guitar-pop wrapped in candy surrounding a bitter lyrical core – by refracting their ideas through a new set of musical forms that militarize repetition. On the new Wearing Out the Refrain, once again recorded with producer Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Algernon Cadwallader), Bad Moves suggests that the flip side of the delirious harmony of the basement show is the volatile and accusatory antiphony of a community divided by tension, shouting the same desperate hook at each other.
