Creature
No Sleep at All
2009
Out of the sea of Montreal’s indie-rock next-big-things arises a revelation: an air-tight, dance-rock party band ready to take over the world. Creature has been ready for its close-up for nearly three years, so it’s a delight to see the band finally put its chips on the table with this pumping, bumping and super-fun debut. Think B-52s, Talking Heads, Metric at its grooviest and Blondie. Think pop art, power-pop, old-school hip-hop, all laid over a driving rock bottom. The party is, as the album title implies, non-stop. There are no lulls, and there is no lazy groove-riding. Creature is a pop band first -- and this album pops!
