The "our band transcends genres" is one of the most frustrating lines to come across in a band bio, but I’ll be damned if Mobile Steam Unit’s music is easy to wrangle into one of these nice and clearly defined boxes. The Brookyln-based five-piece, whose sound winds through early 90s alt, nudisco, funk, synthpop and country, manages to not only pull off an eclectic auditory tasting, but does so in such a tight way, that you almost forget that what you’re listening to is bananas. It’s all the chaotic goodness you’d never expect, but are stoked to have stumbled on. We’re hyped to hear that the band is dropping a new EP of what’s sure to be highly virtuosic weirdo rock Oct 30th at Rough Trade, opening for RANN. While waiting you can get your Mobile Steam Unit fix by streaming them below. – Olivia Sisinni
