With Bosnian Rainbows band leader Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is able to find a middle ground between inaccessible and forgettable, a place he’s struggled to land across dozens of releases and a few band reincarnations. Some viciously attractive guitar leads, vocals that lean on gothic, and great post-production make up an album that crosses genres. Sometimes dark-new wave, sometimes garage pop, and there are tracks that tend towards some garage-pop or psychedelic post-rock.
