Following the cataclysmic success of
Hidden released earlier this year, Southend futurists
These New Puritans play the Barbican Centre tomorrow eve, airing the record in its entirety with the aid of brass, woodwind, and skull bashers alongside the Britten Sinfonia. Unfortunately we shan't be in attendance, instead procrastinating through the medium of Photoshop, most probably. UK dub-psych pioneer
Forest Swords aka Matt Barnes has delved into the murky depths of Hidden, emerging with White Chords between his teeth, tearing and chewing away at its off-kilter, unnerving anthemia until all that's left is the sound of trenchtown paranoia, post-apocalyptic suburbia. Jack Barnett sounds as though he's reciting lost pages from the Qur'an over a mangled brief sonic history of
Offset. Enjoy both remix and tomorrow night's show if you've a ticket within your grasp...
