Shanghai's Rainbow Danger Club reveals its bombast intriguingly. Its sound is a hybrid of some of the past decade's major indie movements: There's Animal Collective's mob-harmony bounce, but not its wandering noise; Liars' percussive dance-punk, but not its snide freakiness; Decemberists and Arcade Fire's hyperbolic chamber pop, but with half the members. There's nothing wrong with skimming off the top of each movement, so to speak, if the end result gathers and celebrates the strengths of each approach, as does the 2011 LP Where Maps End. Tracks like the instrumental "Lego Sunrise" show the promise of this variegated style while shaping their own endearing welcome, too. —Corbie Hill
