It's quite a stylistic shift for them - the arpeggiated synth bass is disco-ish; the whole thing is a kind of glum lo-fi "I Feel Love"...

i like the way it sounds and looks amazing, but not actually weird or out of place - and the audience just cheers along normally. people's ideas of what will be acceptable or go down well w/mainstream audiences can be rather restrictive sometimes.

'chase the tear' is awesome. there's no chance it was recorded live, right? i'm inclined to say no, but the one-take video looks pretty convincing (even though there are no mics on the drums).

Geoff Barrow's transhemispherical hip-hop group Quakers is vibrating back to life: a full second album featuring 31 rappers across 33 tracks is out in November, and they released a beat tape mixed by the Australian part of the group, Katalyst (as Supa K) a few weeks ago. That's on bandcamp and vinyl, or as a 50-minute collage video.
