They once again illustrate their talents here for this special December release...

At the top of the pecking order is their single "Fragile Tension" that features exquisitely placed electronics pulling in wild and different directions. Following track "Hole To Feed" brandishes the boys instrumental talents with spine tingling guitar melodies grappled by thoughtful lyrics. Roger Sanchez shows the kids hew it's done with a bold and ambiguous take on "Perfect". "Come Back" gets a story telling folk like reworking from London based Sixties. Laidback Luke undoes the transit of "Fragile Tension" with darting electro bleeps, harking rifts, thrusting chords and whistling breakdowns. Popof transforms "Hole To Feed" into an irresisuble dancefloor destroyer. Peter Bjorn and John dress "Fragile Tension" in atmospheric melodies floating on hand clapping heats and dramatic chords whilst Joebot closes the show on "Hole To Feed" with pulsating castro breaks and adrenaline rushed heats.
