Anyone catch these on the Glastonbury coverage the other night? (Or even saw them live?) They did a stunning set, sounding amazing.

I've got hold of an advance copy of the new album, The Understanding (out 4 July), and it's an absolute stonker. Stand-out tracks for me are:

"What Else Is There?", with quirky, wonderful vocals from Karin Dreijer from The Knife and an incessant, driving beat that grabs you like "Poor Leno" from Melody A.M. does. Quality.

"Alpha Male", which starts off slowly with Tangerine Dream-eque strings and pads, but builds up into a pounding, head-nodding, foot-dancing, epic tune. Expect the remixers to get hold of this one. Real drums, too :)

They're just the stand-out tracks; the rest of the CD is brilliant.

Highly recommended :D
 
I've got Melody AM. Love it to bits. Very creative and atmospheric.
 
yup - I agree - very impressive set - am going to buy albums :D
