But <em>Snare Lustrous Doomings<\/em> is the group&#8217;s first live set. Here, Barnes and company build upon the psychedelic, art-pop sensibility that&#8217;s a hallmark of the collective, imbuing the songs with a rocking, guitar-centric approach; Barnes&#8217; voice is reminiscent of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=5577\"><strong>Television<\/strong><\/a>&#8216;s <strong>Tom Verlaine<\/strong>, and the band charges ahead like vintage <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=630\"><strong>Buzzcocks<\/strong><\/a> with a bit of subtlety mixed in for good measure. The energy of live performance is well captured.
