    ‘Hidden’ is the highly anticipated comeback from a band whose debut ‘Beat
    Pyramid’ earned them huge critical acclaim, including the cover of Observer Music
    Monthly, rave reviews in NME, Q, Mojo, Uncut, The Guardian and widespread
    radio support from Zane Lowe, Rob Da Bank, Steve Lamacq and Marc Riley, as
    well as gaining them a strong cult following.

    ‗Hidden‘ is an epic return, featuring six foot Japanese taiko drums, a thirteen piece
    brass and woodwind ensemble and Foley sound effect recording techniques.
    Produced by These New Puritan’s Jack Barnett along with Graham Sutton, and
    mixed by Dave Cooley (J Dilla, MF Doom), the single is as strange as it is
    confrontational. It draws equally on the rhythmic lexicons of dancehall, 20th Century
    post-minimalism, and the plastic textures of modern US Pop.

    The extraordinary and original seven minute film to accompany the single ‘We Want
    War’ is by acclaimed Australian director Daniel Askill and is truly mesmerising. This
    underwater odyssey is already causing a stir on the internet, it looks set to be an
    MTV favourite for 2010.

    The album‘s heavy layers of rhythm combined with the classical minimalist
    instrumentation will challenge, perplex and mesmerise the listener and more than
    reward any attention lavished upon it. Sometimes brutal, sometimes
    melancholy, and sounding like nothing else.
