On its third full length, Rubblebucket’s energetic brand of trance-inducing, polyrhythmic dance-rock is honed into a heavenly mosaic of shining tracks. Omega La La was mostly recorded at Plaintain/DFA studios in New York City and many of its 11 mostly road-tested songs. The group’s signature ethereal horn arrangements ignite powerful chorus sections while singer Kalmia Traver’s alluring vocals ground sexy, synthed-out jams that flash hints of late-‘70s era prog beefed up by thick bass lines. From the percussive album opener “Down in the Yards,” to the fun loving “Silly Fathers,” and from the electrifying climax of “Breatherz (Young As Clouds)” to the catchy chorus of “Worker,” Omega La La may introduce Rubblebucket to a far wider audience.
