Break Your Arm For Evolution

    SSM likes to flirt. This follow-up to their acclaimed 2006 self-titled debut finds Szymanski (voice, keyboards), Shettler (drums, programming), and Morris (voice, guitar) further expanding their sonic horizons and fearlessly morphing genres. Recorded in record time straight to seven-track tape, the Detroit post-punk trio once again defies conventional wisdom and blazes its own trail. "Break Your Arm for Evolution" is not merely a title but an earnest philosophy: the psychedelic kraut rock 'n' roll of "Regenerate Your Face" transforms itself into the synth pop of "Let's Make A Baby", which metamorphoses into the indie alternative dance "Start Dancing" and quickly burst into the punk rock "Emotional Tourist", all the while challenging the traditional conventions of pop songwriting. The result leaves one with little time to catch their breath but ultimately flirts with genius.

    Garage rock? Detroit sound? Dance rock? Synth pop? The sound created by SSM (the acronym currently stands for Szymanski, Shettler, Morris) is original and addictive. Following the release of their acclaimed debut album, here comes a six song mini CD with one remix track from the album ("Put Me In") and five new tracks.
