Completing the circuit between the minimalism of American composer Steve Reich, guitars that sound like insects, and tennis player Andy Roddick, theirs is a uniquely winning formula. Driving percussion high in the mix, guitars played above the 12th fret, no chords, and splashes of synthesizer colour all come together like the schematics for a piece of precision engineering.
Features hit singles Balloons, Cassius, Red Socks Pugie, and Olympic Airways.
