"A proper full-length by Public Record is on the horizon, and expectations are already sky high." -- Philadelphia Weekly "[A] crazy hybrid of Factory Records clackity British funk, old soul dance 45s, and Balkan boogie à la early Camper Van Beethoven." -- Philebrity "An enjoyable set of instrumentals as primordial as they are melodic, as trance-y as they are dance-y. Their sound is fun and somber, with the cool mellow of the saxophone mixing with the itchy funk of the guitar and the muscular bass groove. It is simply impossible to categorize the sound, but it's easy to enjoy. ESG? Blurt? Can? Krakatoa? Like a good stew, there's a touch of everything in Public Record's sound." -- LVHRD.org Philadelphia septet Public Record blends together a vast array of musical genres ranging from early-disco to shoegaze, Afro-beat to Scottish Postcard pop, and northern soul to Factory Records funk. The product of this co-mingling of musical ideas and sensibilities is a refreshingly creative take on dance music that manages to surprise and bewilder listeners with each changing verse and track. The 13 tracks of Public Record's self-titled debut bring the band's unique composite to fruition with great intricacy and cohesion.
