Who? With harsh synthesizers, emotive vocals, and a vaguely threatening atmosphere, one could be forgiven for confusing Railcars' buzzy art-rock with the early work of similarly-minded experimentalists Xiu Xiu. That's not a far stretch, though: Xiu Xiu's leader, Jamie Stewart, produced Railcars' debut EP in his kitchen. Journey to the center of primary member Aria C. Jalali's tunes, however, and you'll discover the big, skuzzy power-pop heart that shitgazers Times New Viking might have if they were machines instead of men (and women). The thumping, dirty electro beats might even inspire you to dance -- once you stop feeling so nervous, that is.

Their Latest: Railcars' debut EP, Cities Vs. Submarines, is out now on Gold Robot.
