These New Puritans are Hidden


2 years after the ravind reviews on their debut "Best Pyramid", These New Puritans return with their sophomore album, "Hidden". If there is one word that fits here, it must be ambitious: a six foot Japanese taiko drums, a thirteen piece brass and woodwind ensemble and Foley sound effect recording techniques, (including a melon with cream crackers attached struck by a hammer, used to simulate the sound of a human head being smashed). Add the voice of Heather Marlatt (of Salem), production by Grahan Sutton (Bark Psychosis) and mixing by Dave Cooley (Dilla, MF Doom) and you get the picture.

Oh, oh, let me not forget: the reviews are once again raving. Even more than for "Beat Pyramid". "Hidden" is out January 18th on Angular and Domino records.
