Yes to No/Noise

○○○○●

THE Parks Dept, an electronic project which grew into a full band, is a wonderful place to spend some recreation time.
Because the Northamptoners' debut album, No/Noise, is a wild landscape of electro and punk in varying combinations.
Openers French Hands Part One and Part Two are as close to Daft Punk as the following track, Driver, is to the Sex Pistols - with the closest touchstones overall being the rocky dance of LCD Soundsystem and the dancey rock of The Rapture.
What is consistent throughout, however, is a blinkered dedication to having a good time with their music - and when the closing track states OK, We're F*cking Partying Now, you know they most probably achieve it.
