Well, this is catchy as hell. Funky minimal post-punk perfected, Dressing is the full-length debut from Oakland three-piece Low Praise. Its eight tracks were recorded in two sessions separated by the chasm of the pandemic, but it all comes together into a cohesive thrashy package. The songs here are so supremely upbeat and danceable that you may find it easy to forget that they’re inspired by COVID-induced “anxiety and helplessness.” Just try not to sing along to the hook on the opening track (“Forget That It’s Summer”) your first time around.
