Phone Home, a NYC based math-rock band with a gift for melody, didn't care for vocals. that they included a remix of Girl Don't Fight It featuring a lyricist Jon Ross on their new EP Ways. Does it work? Not so much. It takes away the mystery - who needs a voice over when you try to build a soundscape.
With the siblings John and Michael Vallarelli using brotherly telepathy to connect and guitar player Jeff Santoro wandering around and adding echo-heavy flourishes they should go Mogwai and forgo the spoken word altogether.
