Firaz at NME Radio introduced me to this band, and if this first track he sent over is anything to go by they could be destined for pretty big things. It takes the twisted melodies of Gyratory System and affixes them onto a Bloc Party kind of song structure before sprinkling with Metronomy dust and mincing the whole thing through a digital wringer. Then it goes dubstep for a bit before ending with the sound of a diseased PC trying to connect to dial up internet over a disco beat. Nice title too.
