(Fiction)
This New Zealand band are named after some words in a Tricky song that, they've said, sum up "everything that's brilliant and stupid about music culture". Something which, as an enthusiastically hyped band who tick every modish box going, they should be well attuned to. There are boy-girl vocals, there are euphoric, ravey synths offset by stormy Nine Inch Nails guitars, and there are huge, festival-friendly choruses that will outdo MGMT's most persistent summer anthems. In other words, there is an awful lot going on and the result is both a bit brilliant and a bit stupid.
