Poor choice of band name aside, Christ vs Krishna make all the right moves on their latest EP. With elements of R.E.M., Go-Betweens, and pre-Lovegod Soup Dragons, Move And Scale plays like the soundtrack to a John Hughes teen flick. Frontman Pank Bagga owns that pensive 80s mumble-sing indicative of the jangle-pop sub-genre. Which is not to say he doesn’t enunciate; more often than not, the lyrics are completely discernible. You don’t need to know the words, the melodies are infectious and made for humming. Move And Scale is CvK’s third release and, while not groundbreaking, has its own sound. It’s a good fit alongside the aforementioned bands, though not as punchy and the lead guitar has a brighter ring. The sun-drenched “Walk On Water,” with its lazy reggae beat, is a nice change of pace before the album closes on a somber note with “The Sorrows.” (Independent, christvkrishna.com) Broose Tulloch
