Album Review: HTRK - Body Lotion EP

A new HTRK release is always cause for celebration, even when it’s just a three-track EP.

Body Lotion is compiled from tunes that can be traced back to 2011’s wonderful Work (Work Work) long-player and it shows. The pop-infused groove the band has displayed recently is only being developed here, with gorgeous droning melancholia the name of the game. Highlight, Sugar, could be a modern coldwave post-punk classic were it ever to receive the audience it should. This lovely little release is an early Christmas present from one of our most exciting acts.
