Chicago punk band Negative Scanner return to the fray with their second long-player, the cheekily titled Nose Picker. Once again recorded by the band themselves in their Chicago practice space, Nose Picker opens witha question; “Is there anybody there?”, which acts as both a legitimate query as well as a rallying cry. Negative Scanner make it clearthat they want your attention, as opening tune “T.V.”s stutter step guitar riff leans into an lean and mean, 4-on-the-floor churn. The restof the album follows suit, either with raging punk snarl (History Lesson, First Blood, Let it Die), or angular, emotive jagged guitarriffage (A Cross, 10 Million Kids, The Only One), punctuated by vocalist / guitarist Rebecca Valeriano- Flores’ voice, teetering between a full throated roar and a plaintive monotone. Her lyrics are insular, spitting accusatory and inquisitory barbs inward, talking to anyone who listen. Is there anybody there? Despite the darkness on the surface, Nose Picker has an unmistakable air of whimsy, and a sense of humor, punctuated by the very literal album cover, and by the sound of a toilet flushing at the album‘s closing.
