British sextet the Fallout Trust takes traditional instrumentation -- adding in supplementary elements like piano and violin along the way -- to create an aural atmosphere that ultimately resembles the subterranean warehouse used to record their album.

In Case of the Flood runs with the nighttime crowd, bringing in pulsating numbers to groove around town and flowing, expansive ones that unfold elegantly over four or five minutes to varying results.

Commencing with its strongest track, "When We Are Gone" possesses a sort of opening synth pop feel.

The song commands attention with its vaguely industrial beats fronting erratic rhythms that grandly escalate and combine with a breathtaking Radiohead-esque etherealness.

From here, the band seems to take additional influence from acts like Arcade Fire, David Bowie, and Super Furry Animals, managing to create an album of 11 relatively distinct tracks, even if not all have stuck with listeners by the album's conclusion.

Not really meant to be a knock against the album, however, there is much to pleasurably sink one's teeth into throughout In Case of the Flood.

"Washout" runs vocal harmonies on a bristly, post-punk attitude; "Them or It" takes a jazzy, brass-laden approach; "Cover Up Man" sounds like the band channeling Ted Leo.

"TVM" is simply stunning from its sparse onset of little more than unhurried piano; brooding vocals go on to repeat "Wanna get, wanna get, wanna get, wanna get that feeling back," purposefully rising and combining with strings by the song's affecting end.

Approaching their music in a calculated manner, the Fallout Trust most impressively creates songs that, while owning multiple layers, sidestep any bogged down feeling of disorder or muddle.

It just becomes that with each spin of this notable offering, there's simply more to discover and enjoy.
