Banger of the Week (04/07/11): Hyetal - Phoenix

Phoenix: 5:25
Taken From: Broadcast (2011, Black Acre)

Now I realise this album was released back in May, but I have only just been able to get hold of a copy to pass judgement. The album is a well crafted and solid piece of Bristolian techno-electronica (think dirty dubstep crossed with Massive Attack's eeriness and Vangelis' Blade Runner era synthesisers). It features a number of absolute bangers and some less interesting atmospheric low points but 'Phoenix' is not one of these. 'Phat' beats, crisp production and light synth work make a definite dancefloor filler. Get involved.

Banger of the Week (13/06/11): Maybeshewill - An End To Camaraderie



An End To Camaraderie: 4:17
Taken From: I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone (2011)

More instrumental, electronic-infused post-rock from Leicester film reference enthusiasts, Maybeshewill. This track is a personal favourite on a new album that has a distinct lack of the band's trademark pretentious spoken word taken from little-known cult movies. Nevertheless, it is still epic.
