These New Puritans - Beat Pyramid
A collaborationism with fashion clothes designer Hedi Slimane for Christian Dior Homme in 2007 and purple and gold outfits on stage... from the compress it would be whole excessively easy for just about grumblers to dub These Fresh Puritans The Emperor's Freshly Clothes and retreat to the post-punk milestones to take heed how it really should be done.
Only such a write off would be an chance missed: while the four-spot 19-year-olds whitethorn be the latest post-Christmas excitement band, their debut album has some great moments and a real taste of the kinetics of the art pattern.
Vocalizer Diddlysquat Barnett, his gemini brother drummer George I, bassist Dylan Thomas Hein and synth and samples workfellow Sophie Sleigh-Johnson mix genres here without leaving you worried that the kitchen dip might make an appearance on the next track - their creation could appeal as much to the fan of US label Dischord as those world Health Organization stockpile electronica.
And what's to the highest degree refreshing amidst wholly the embodiment throwing is that the quartet buns write catchy songs also if they're in the humour, as i mind to 'Numerology (AKA Numbers)', 'Colours' and 'Navigate - Colours' will bear witness.
The years should prove kind to These Newly Puritans: they have a circumstances of ideas, they spark off for each one other in vogue and while their sound is rather grey at the moment, it's never dull.
