What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

I've taken one indie album home this year... it was the These New Puritans album. I think it's great... I like their energy... I'd like to put it in a crystal and sell it in my new age shop called 'one light'. You should come down... you'll be spiritually enriched. Listening to 'Swords of Truth' you'll realise how much better they are than most of the indie bands out there.... I love the spiky guitars, me.... The beat reminds me a bit of Get Yr Freak On (Missy Elliott) as well. Totally great tune.... whoever has chosen the singles to release off this album has done a really good job cos they've all my favourite tracks! Smashing....if you don't buy this your a complete knob

("This Music Is Weightless, This Music's Symbolic")
TL Fragment
‘Swords Of Truth’ is the audacious new single, and most striking track from These New Puritans' ‘Beat Pyramid’ album, and is a perfect distillation of the band's essence.  
Beginning with a fanfare of horn samples, the track pounds with a nervy dubstep-inspired beat and Jack Barnett's estuary-accented half-rapped vocals - an abstract narrative named after terrorist group Swords Of Truth Brigade - build, one voice layered over another, culminating in a linguistic explosion.  The 12" features the amazing DFA remix (Tim Goldsworthy, The Loving Hand) of Navigate, Navigate

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
