What to expect when these veteran hometown DJ bros take the stage in full-band free-form freak-out mode: disco-punk, acid-house, psychedelia, tropicalia, glossolalia? Their latest vinyl/digital missive, Endless Bummer (RVNG), which manages to be at once more unpredictable and more approachable than prior offerings, cycles through most of the above, along with a fair amount of droney ambience and — maybe weirdest of all — a pop song ("Peter Cushing," about the British horror/sci-fi actor), while always retaining a bright, open, newly chummy looseness.
