"Anamorphic" cinematographers and photographers squeeze wide angles into small frames using a special lens. So, too, does this Greater Philadelphia band centered on worker bee Tom Murray (doing double duty on guitars and bass). Their gnarly, noisy guitars expand, not contract, the sonic waves over strict, heavy-discipline, mid-tempo dance rhythms. Having grown bored of today's angular, stripped-down post-punk dance rock revival mania, I nevertheless find Tulipomania completely, oppositely refreshing–because of Murray's guitars, guitars, guitars! They're gnashing, violent, dark, and distorted, yet so spread-out, it's like some unearthed third cousin of Steve Albini circa "Kerosene," old Effigies guitarist Earl Letiecq circa "Security," or Geordie Walker of Killing Joke circa "Tension." The grooves are mean and repetitive, so they start to get to you too, as Murray's heaving vocals sound like a man being punched in the stomach while smoking. Stand up and take your punishment.
