With 'World Class Listening Problem,' Don Caballero's first full-length in over five years, they prove once again that they are innovators of their craft & remain head & shoulders above their peers. The bands' powerful, percussive-heavy sonic advance is denser, more expansive & burns with a new-found urgency. Their aim is clear, if not exactly simple -- to make music that is revolutionary, that encourages change -- in music and in the world.
