Post Description

Almost feeling like a concept album, These New Puritans main songwriter Jack Barnett having made no secret of his particular fascination with angles, colours and numbers, 'Beat Pyramid' takes an even more exciting diversion on the Eastern-flavoured 'Swords Of Truth', the undisputed highlight of the album and by far one of the most ambitious pieces of music this or any other band has attempted in recent years. Owing more to the likes of Ofra Haza than any South London indie combo, 'Swords Of Truth' feels like a blueprint for how multi-cultural dance music will sounds in the future. Once the rest of the competition has finished playing catch-up, of course.

With the Rakes sounding 'Mkk3' being the only real hint at their Junk Club past, 'Beat Pyramid' is a triumph for diversity and originality and if These New Puritans can hone their lofty ambitions even further, the omens for albums two and three look distinctly mouth-watering indeed.
