Echolalia

In the opening line of “Monsters,” the dense, driving single from alt-rockers Something for Kate’s third album, Paul Dempsey sings in brooding, Eddie Vedder-esque tones about hanging upside down from an overpass. He and his cohorts—bassist Stephanie Ashworth and drummer Clint Hyndman—like playing on the edge. *Echolalia* finds them stepping up their game and buffing their wiry sound until it gleams—all while maintaining their signature grit and moodiness.
