'What Day Is It Tonight?' is the new offering from Thrill Jockey's semi-reliable, nostalgia inspired, electro rock juggernaut that is Trans Am. I know that their last offering 'Sex Change' was recorded from three different parts of the planet with ideas being exchanged via the world wide interclick so it comes as no surprise that this next release is a collection of live recordings, I don't think they get to hang out much anymore (though I'm told they are working on a new studio album). Collecting recordings that span some fifteen years 'What Day Is It Tonight?' is an awesome document of a great live band on fine form. All the favourite's are here...'Futureworld', 'Positive People', 'Idea Machine' and the highlight of last years 'Sex Change'; 'Tesco Vs. Sainsbury's' and they all sound mint! The playing is sharp, the recording is sweet and the selection is very much representative of the band. A worthy collection for sure....oh, you get a DVD of live clips too but I've not seen that...yet.
