When they're good, they're almost unbearably exciting. This, for example, may not have the most immediate melody at first - that comes, don't worry - but the looped math riff seems to grow more powerful with the repetition while around it is controlled thunderousness. When it turns into an actual song halfway through it's deceptively simple a la Tubelord, then we thunder back into the heart of the blaze. It's the first taste of their debut album proper, out through Big Scary Monsters/Blood And Biscuits on April 16th on white 7".
