It's been about five years since LA duo Randy Randall and Dean Spunt formed No Age, the noise-pop band carved in the wake of hardcore trio Wives. The marriage of drone, fuzz and feedback, with occasional rays of melody shining through the cracks was a revelation on their 2007 debut Weirdo Rippers and provided a soundtrack for the nascent, self-sustaining group of bands and fans centred around all-ages venue the Smell.

No Age's 2008 follow-up, Nouns, continued certain recognisable traditions: songs clocked in at less than two and a half minutes; hazy sounds were thickened by shout-along choruses; seductively incomprehensible lyrics fought to be heard. Fans are likely to greet the arrival of their third album, Everything in Between, with the happy sentiment that it's more of the same. It's an album which veers between all-out punk and delicate sentiments ("I want you back underneath my skin"), a collection of songs that the band describe as "a culmination of reflecting upon life's ruptures and triumphs ... the process of moving through these moments banged and bruised". Typical No Age, but in the best possible way. Let us know what you think on the space below.
