That&#8217;s a bit much right? But remember we&#8217;re talking Night Court here: masters of the 90-second knockout punch, where every razor-sharp second feels like a joyride in a stolen car. Each track needs just one killer hook or melody to ignite, and these Vancouver noise merchants know exactly how to strike the match.<\/p>\n<p>While their DIY ethos screams punk, trying to box Night Court into a single genre seems beside the point. Few current bands can bottle this kind of lightning-that raw, untamed energy-into such enjoyable lo-fi ramshackle blasts of noise. The album&#8217;s biggest surprise? Rather than slowing down, Night Court sounds like they&#8217;re just warming up and have way more tunes to write. Watching this gang of friends demolish their instruments and sculpt the wreckage into something this addictive is pure joy.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite hits? Today it&#8217;s <em>Mistakes Become You, Infrared Glasses, Captain Caveperson<\/em>, and <em>Permanent Vocation<\/em> &#8211; but catch me tomorrow for a different hit list.
