Buzzcocks remain clearly identifiable – that joyful pop-punk sound never disappears – but they're also noticeably unfrozen.

Despite its indulgences in nostalgia, the album sounds very modern and engaging throughout.

The neoclassical duo returns with their accompaniment for a dance company production of Italian postmodernist literature, presenting us with their most fresh and boundary-pushing work since Atomos.

Life Support feels like the proper beginning of a journey in pop actualization.
