These New Puritans: 'Numbers' (Angular) Posh picture disc action from the much anticipated new kids on the block. Coming across like a fuller sounding version of the Prinzhorn Dance School. This is a list record with a sort of call and response, terrace chant vocal. They sound like they're still in art school with their minimal attention to detail, crisp sparse lyrics and musicality. The flip is a bit more of a punky, spiky rumble about colours (yeah more art school references) which wouldn't sound out of place on a Gang of Four side.

The exciting second single from These New Puritans offers the first taste of the forthcoming 2008 debut LP ‘Beat Pyramid’. A demonstration of this band’s creativity and adeptness, this double AA picture disc contains more ideas than most bands whole careers. Marrying themes of mediaeval numerology to pop choruses and skipping grimy beats, ‘Numbers’ is a hook-laden uptight classic. Produced by Gareth Jones (Wire/Liars/ Einstürzende Neubauten). Collector’s format of special limited edition 7” picture disc.
