Office Space is a great movie, because anyone that’s ever had an office job can relate to most – if not all – of Peter Gibbons’ quandaries and one is left wondering, “How did I get here?” Built By Animals explores that precise question on Corporate Syndrome. The opener, “Teenage Rampage,” begins with a jewel-toned, jerky guitar that has garnered the band comparisons to Vampire Weekend’s westernized afrobeat style. The rest of the EP also references early Weezer, Guster and Modest Mouse. “Spreadsheets” may just become the unofficial anthem of the tired, repressed office worker with its true-to-life lyrics. The band is playing the Economy Bites culinary TV show 1-yr anniversary party on 10.09 and then a CMJ show on October 23 at the Lit Lounge. -N.C.
