Hidden (Angular)
Rock / Pop
limited edition CD plus 80 page
luxury hardback score book containing the musical notation scores for the
album (300 copies).
‘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.
