It's Time! | Cause Co-Motion!

Cause Co-Motion! "It's Time!"

Cause Co-Motion! have spent the last three years releasing a series of increasingly rad singles on What's Yr Rupture?, Cape Shok, Can't Cope and finally Slumberland. Their sound is a blazing chaos of jangle, clatter, and thump - busted strings and broken hearts. Hummable tunes to scratch that TVPs/Pastels/Comet Gain itch, with more than a dash of 14 Iced Bears and Desperate Bicycles in there too. Using reverb as a weapon, Cause Co-Motion! have honed their hyperactive sound into a formidable DIY pop lexicon. Dig their new language.
We're very happy to bring you It's Time!, a compilation of these fine singles. The fourteen songs race by in barely over twenty minutes, the compressed rush of melody, tunes and crash-bang energy perfectly mirroring the hormonal frenzy of adolescence and young adulthood. The eagerness to COMMUNICATE, if only for two minutes at a time. Classics like "This Time Next Year" and "Take A Look" have become mixtape staples, and are joined by more recent missives like "Say What You Feel," "Cry For Attention" and most-recent single "I Lie Awake" in the canon of crash-pop. Exhibiting a scrappiness that wouldn't sound out of place on a Messthetics comp, Cause Co-Motion! have handily become our new DIY pop heroes.

"Cause Co-Motion! make frantic guitar rock sound just so pleasant. These guys have the goods to stick around for a while." - Oh My Rockness
"...here’s four guys doing it for themselves and their friends and for history. Promoting sweet times and smiles and togetherness should be on more bands’ agendas." - Dusted
"...there's nothing dated about short, fast, instantly likable punk rock songs." - Pitchfork
"Wound-up New York noiseniks bang out 90-second pop hits..." - RollingStone.com
