ROONEY
Time On Their Hands (Common Culture Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

Rooney sounds a lot like what early Psychic TV would have sounded like if Genesis P-Orridge had been singing about the mundanities of life, like going to the store and hanging around his apartment, instead of mythical creatures and religion. There's the same quiet, understated singing voice, the electronic instrumentation mixed with classical elements, repeated loops and feedback, making for some really, really cool songs about eating chips and staring out the window.
