The debut album by FEWS finds the Malmö-based Swedish/American/British four-piece updating the post-punk sound for 2016. They're dab hands at the genre's bleak bass lines and stinging welts of guitar, but shift nimbly between different dynamics, from screaming highs to affecting lows. “Time is on my side!” frontman Frederick Rundqvist yelps on “The Zoo”, all racing intensity, while “Zlatan”, which veers between downtrodden verses and euphoric choruses.
