In the grand tradition of misleading band names (the Pop Group, the Clean), the Death Set's handle suggests Satanic verses and Cookie Monster vocals. But this Baltimore duo actually makes good-time electro-punk. Fans of the Go! Team and Dan Deacon should love the group's Ninja Tune debut, Worldwide, an overstimulated collection of gang-shouted anthems, spazzy guitars, and loopy Bis-inspired synths. Onstage, the Death Set display the kind of energy usually associated with post-hardcore kids; but, as the pent-up signature cut "Negative Thinking" demonstrates, a caffeine-and-sugar diet usually works best with a healthy slice of twee.
