On The Art of Self-Defense, the second album from the Stepford Five, the Columbus band grabs the baton from the broken- up Afghan Whigs and runs with it.
Hard-driving, menacing music played by bassist Tim Minneci, guitarist Jason Dziak and drummer Mark Kovitya is the layer upon which lead singer Keith Jenkins addresses lovers past and present.
Throughout the disc, recorded during the past year with Pretty Mighty Mighty's Neal Schmitt at Workbook Studio in Columbus, the band fluidly incorporates farfisa organ, timpani, drum loops, backup female vocals and goofy time signatures. The result is a sturdy next step in the band's ascent to heavy FM rotation.
