Pack A.D. is a Vancouver duo that claims to be a bit harder than they sound, but they’re not to be written off. Sadly, my favorite track, “Seasick,” is a do-not-play. The general sound of Unpersons is touch, gritty and eerie, but some lyrics seem a little … obvious? That said, I really enjoyed listening to most of the album. They may be reaching but Becky Black’s vocals sound similar to Karen O and Jack White. Although, on some track, Black might be holding back on her vocal.
