Razor-sharp guitar and drum machines is the name of the game with Civil Civic. Like Ratatat playing post-rock if all their instruments were in fuzzy decline. Their songs sound like rediscovered guitar parts from an ’80s studio session reconfigurated for instrumental listening. They are possibly Australian, now based in London and Barcelona. What I do know, is that they rock. You can grab their new 7″ from Bandcamp and grab their older cassette from other places.
