There's an irresistible hysteria in Josephine Olausson's voice that recalls a young Björk — an amphetamine perkiness that's easy to crush-out on and probably scary to live with. But dancing to it is no problem: The New Wave rush of her band's second album rarely lets up. Sure, there's the melodica-frosted breakup ballad "A More Uncertain Future" and the Phil Spector-cum-Jesus and Mary Chain drone of "When Giants Fall." But otherwise, it's party time, with a crazed sax upping the ante. "I'm bored to death of all this shit!" Olausson hollers on "Sea Sick." Or is it "aboard this ship"? Either way, you feel her hangover. Olausson's solution? Sweat it out on the dance floor.
