Passe Montagne has a sound typical of 90s noiserock, especially Shellac. But their short, fast grind-like tracks are constantly changing between rhythms and riffs that make them sound skizo, like Don Cab or Hella. It’s a crazy energy shock, but just the kind of thing to put on if you need your hyperactive disorders cured. There’s even some hooks in there, so for a few seconds they’ll make you feel comfortable in their environment before once again shredding the rhythm and the melody. Like balancing on your toes.
