How could Devo sound more unhinged? Have them reborn in roaring 20s Oakland and ask them to record an only-so-slightly-subtly spooky post-punk record right in time for Halloween. JUMBO by Juicebumps (Rocks in Your Head Records, Time Room Records) is a wild, cheery ride—think Knott’s Scary Farm—packed with kooky duets, spangled synth syncopation, and dozens of other sugar-bursting musical treats. Believe it: The live show is even more thrilling.
