Finally, after a 3 year hiatus MSTRKRFT release their second album, Fist of God! I loved their first album, The Looks - it is probably one of my most played albums of the last couple of years and combined all of the ferocity I had grown accustomed to from Keeler (formerly of Death From Above 1979) with a new robotic, dancy edge.

Their new albums features many collaborations, including songs with Gostface Killah, N.O.R.E. and Lil’ Mo and they have combined to produce some very good tracks. A very powerful, synthesizer punch comes from nearly every track as per most MSTRKRFT songs, however there are some more lyrical songs, and a couple of more melodic additions. Stand out songs for me are, Bounce, Click Click It Ain’t Love and Heartbreaker, but it all is a great listen. The only problem I have with the album is that I am slightly unsure of the direction they are heading - there are elements of rock, electro, house and rap and they all come together with a slight element of confusion. I feel that it’s predecessor, The Looks remains the better album, however they both deserve a purchase - Brilliant!

7.8/10

Originating from Bordeaux, France, Kap Bambino are a duo consisting of Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier. Reminding me of Crystal Castles, a fusion of metal and electro is how I would describe their music - and they are well known for Caroline Martial’s wild vocals. Starting off about 8 years ago, I have only just personally come across them, however they have played with people such as These New Puritans and Late of the Pier. They have been featured in NME, Another Magazine, Dummy Mag and Dazed and Confused, and due to their excited live performances, have been part of the festivals ZXZW and Dot to Dot.

With a very good image, a lot of potential and a new album named Blacklist, on the way next month, I highly recommend!
