Dancer - Arch Nemesis

A conflagration of members from Glasgow bands Current Affairs, Nightshift, Order of the Toad and Robert Sotelo, yes, it's yet more of that talk-singing (though more of the latter than with most) over acute post-punk stuff you've come to know and love in the last few years. It does however feel that unlike the majority of bands who've emerged doing similar in the last year these have actually drawn inspiration from the source, uncoiling without freneticism in the manner of - yes, here it comes - Life Without Buildings (their label refers to them as "inspired by LWB", so fair enough) via the Raincoats, with less of the impressionistic vocalising and more introspection and awkward bass-led groove. Plus their self-titled EP has a song entitled Chris Whitty's Inner World.
