These New Puritans - Hidden

Oh my.

Produced by TNPS's Jack Barnett and Graham Sutton (Bark Psychosis, Boymerang)

and mixed by Dave Cooley (J Dilla, MF DOOM) the album draws equally on the

rhythmic lexicons of dancehall and 20th century post-minimalism, with

instrumentation redolent of the oceanic brass of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes

and the plastic textures of modern U.S. pop. It's sometimes brutal, sometimes

melancholy, and sounds like nothing else!!

Hidden features six-foot Japanese Taiko drums, a thirteen piece brass and

woodwind ensemble, sub-heavy beats, prepared piano, a children's choir, Foley

recording techniques (including a melon with cream crackers attached struck by a

hammer, used to simulate the sound of a human head being smashed), and the

ethereal voice of Heather Marlatt from dream-pop group Salem
