Uh, this one's kinda amazing.
Moscow Youth Cult left me baffled and thrilled today with tunes straying somewhere between
New Order's synth pop affinity, formalistic noise reminiscent of
Fuck Buttons,
These New Puritans' experimental streak and not least
Salem's harsh darkness, splendidly exploring the frontiers of erstwhile electronic music without ever leaving the present tense. Inspired by "obscure 70s sci-fi films", these two guys of course do not hail from that certain Russian metropolis but from the depths of the English Midlands, and where else than in Nottingham and Leicester could you come up with something so sublime fallen out of time.
