Exclamation points!

!!! formed in the mid-'90s in Sacramento based on the knowledge that they would be playing an all-night house party. More than a decade later, the party is still going strong. Since that fateful night, the band has alternated between club-hopping and label-hopping with each release, starting with GSL, moving to Touch & Go and now finding their rhythm with Warp Records. To answer the question that is on the tip of your tongue, the band's name can be pronounced by using a series of three one-syllable percussive sounds in succession, but "chk, chk, chk" is typically the "name" chosen by most !!! followers.\nMyth Takes, the third full-length release by !!!, contains the driving beats, healthy low-end spindly guitars and well-placed electronic embellishments that made their previous albums so delightful. While their previous works were undeniably fun, Myth Takes is more developed and leads you into walls of wailing synths, dense percussion, catchy hooks and an undeniable groove that flows freely throughout the songs. !!! is developing a prowess for creating multi-layered tunes that provide a good middle ground or starting point for those with a background in rock who are interested in dance music.\nUnlike many dance tunes, the songs aren't menacingly long and !!! manages to mix electronic dance music, disco, funk, punk and hints of other styles and present them with a dose of arrogance added into the mix. However, !!! has never been a band to have overly impressive lyrics. Lyrical content for the band is often crass, rebellious or abstract. However, dance music thrives on veiled lyrics and rock encompasses the defiant mentality that the band presents. Since !!! uses both styles as their framework, the lyrics actually work.\nThe album flows well until the last moments. "Infinifold," the album's closer, is a dark lament that sounds absolutely stunning on its own, but it is completely out of place on the album. It is curious that !!! decided to put the track on the album even though it is contrary to the style of the other nine songs. Though, if the band continued in the direction of that song, the results would surely be well worth a listen.\nDespite the awkward transition to close the album, Myth Takes is another dance in the right direction for !!!. Overall, the album is fun, engaging and full of tunes that will make you want to get on the dance floor. It would be a huge "mythtake" not to give chk, chk, chk a chance, chance, chance.
