With their third full-length, Washington, D.C.'s Bad Moves have expanded their founding artistic identity - a candy-coated guitar-pop shell surrounding a bitter lyrical core - by refracting their ideas through a new set of musical forms that weaponize repetition. On the new Wearing Out the Refrain, recorded once again with producer Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Algernon Cadwallader), Bad Moves propose that the flip side of the delirious harmony of the basement show singalong is the volatile, accusatory antiphony of a community divided by strain, shouting the same desperate hook back and forth at one another.Bad Moves' tag-team vocals, which forgo centering anyone one member, also let the traditionally confessional "I" become the "we" of a community, or generation. Witness the ambitious climate change metaphor of "Eviction Party," which understands the union of sugary pop and genuine angst embodied by 1960s girl-group songcraft, and uses it to expand a personal story to planetary scale. "It's my eviction, I'll cry if I want to" Bad Moves shouts, channeling the dawning millennial midlife crisis. The personal may be political, but what if both feel weighed down and trapped in circular, inescapable ruts?
