"As far as comeback singles go, they don't come more self-explanatory
than Voxtrot's "Berlin Without Return…" Combining equal parts
quarter-life crisis and homesickness, frontman Ramesh Srivastava's
declaration of "I don't know you, baby, you don't know me" may as well
suffice as explanation for the band's lengthy absence from Austin clubs
and its subsequent return. The band has been scant with the details about a proper follow-up to 2007's Voxtrot,
but "Berlin" and the airy, Beatles-quoting synth-pop of "Trepanation
Party" signal a new, contemplative era for Voxtrot. Though new era or
no, "Trepanation" in particular inches toward the dance floor, which is
likely to be packed at this Fun Fun Fun Fest aftershow, featuring
fellow local heroes The Octopus Project; wiry, whiny (and endlessly
catchy) The Coathangers; pedal-stompers Twin Tigers; the Elliott
Smith-esque strums of Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand frontman Walter
Schreifels; and the Coltrane-meets-Yow sound of The Jazzus Lizard."
