Vancouver garage-rockers the Pack A.D. have always been one duo whose bite has lived up to their bark. For their first three albums – most notably 2010’s “We Kill Computers” – singer-guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller cultivated the gnashing blues of the White Stripes and the Black Keys. They’ve kept their fourth album, “Unpersons” (made with producer Jim Diamond, who worked with the White Stripes, Detroit Cobras and Dirtbombs) no less brash, and certainly every bit as dark, given the overriding theme that our digital identities are not really identities at all. Here, mostly, it’s delivered with acidic bombast. We can relate.
