The Presets are an electronic duo from ‘down under’ (Australia) who first came to our attention with the pounding ‘n’ massive question-based stomper ‘Are You The One?’, which, if it wasn’t on our Best of 2006* list, probably should have been.That song was all fine and dandy in the context we heard it - ie surrounded by a load of amazing electro gems on the wonderful ‘Digital Penetration’ compilation - but will the band be any good without various artists backing them up? And without ‘Are You The One?’
WELL.
We’ve been ‘living with’ the album for a couple of months now and can safely confirm that not only is it louder and more Australian than Shane Warne noisily cheating on his wife after 12 crates of ‘tinny brew’ - it’s also utterly, astoundingly and terrifyingly brilliant.
‘Apocalypso’ is a cacophony of million-part harmonies and thundering electro bangers, with more layers than a really fucking good lasagne. At times menacing and at others deeply charming, listening to it is like going on a date with someone who can’t decide if they want to sleep with you or kill you. In other words, wholeheartedly recommended.
So that clears that up, then.
*2006 was a year that happened about eighteen months ago. Popular music at the time included ‘My Chemical Romance’ and ‘Gnarls Barkley’.
