Critics described Erase Errata as, among other things, a dancepunk band when their first album, Other Animals, came out in 2001. If you’ve actually heard Other Animals, this description won’t make any sense; how, exactly, were you supposed to dance to it? It’s obtuse, angular and noisy, sure, but it wasn’t exactly four-on-the-floor house. And while At Crystal Palace isn’t the next DFA spectacular either, at least there was more of a driving beat behind most of the tracks.

Not only that, there are sequences of sounds that actually sound like they might be hooks. Could it be the band’s left their roots behind? Not exactly, but songs like “Surprise, It’s Easter” show Erase Errata minus some of their more erratic tendencies. If you just couldn’t bring yourself to like them before, Erase Errata’s new material may be more to your liking.
