The Malcolm Tent Power Duo - Two Smooth Noodle Maps

Review by Bruno Brito

Album Review: Two Smooth Noodle Maps by The Malcolm Tent Power Duo Released in 2019 under the TPOS label, Two Smooth Noodle Maps is a raw and unfiltered dive into the punk and new wave revival scene. Hailing from the US, The Malcolm Tent Power Duo delivers an album that feels like a love letter to the edgy, rebellious spirit of rock's golden era while carving out its own quirky identity. With artwork by Jude Vigants that’s as cryptic as it is striking, this record grabs your attention before you even press play. The album kicks off with "Devo Has Feelings, Too," a track that immediately sets the tone. It’s punchy, irreverent, and dripping with attitude. The song's driving bassline and sharp guitar riffs feel like a middle finger to conformity, but there’s also something oddly vulnerable about it. You can’t help but remember this one because it balances snark with sincerity—a rare combo that sticks with you long after the last chord fades. Then there’s "Spin The Wheel," which takes things up a notch. This track is chaotic in all the right ways, blending jittery rhythms with lyrics that seem to mock fate itself. It’s catchy without trying too hard, the kind of tune that sneaks into your head when you least expect it. What makes it memorable isn’t just the energy—it’s how unpredictable it feels, like spinning an actual wheel and not knowing where it’ll land. What stands out most about Two Smooth Noodle Maps is its refusal to take itself too seriously. Sure, it’s rooted in punk and new wave traditions, but it doesn’t drown in nostalgia. Instead, it feels alive, almost like it’s daring listeners to find their own meaning in the noise. That said, some tracks meander more than others, leaving you wishing for tighter cohesion across the album. In the end, though, isn’t life kinda like a noodle map? Twisted, messy, and sometimes impossible to follow—but strangely satisfying if you lean into it. And hey, who knew noodles could rock so hard?
