Australian trio SMS has managed to create a sound that is a unique blend of krautrock elements from bands such as CAN and Neu!, Gang of Four’s angular post-punk, the punk-funk fusion of Talking Heads, and the unconventional instrumentation of modern-day heroes Squid, all while maintaining phlegmatic lyrics. Their latest single, Rocket to Mars, is a killer tune that builds on the success of their 2021 full-length album Big Soft.
This anticonformist, sardonic, and utlimately stratospheric single is a testament to SMS ability to push boundaries and create something truly remarkable.
