Yet another of those bands that are so brilliant I sort of feel like I should have known about them ages ago. I need to fire some of my staff. I can get my own damn cookies. Soldout are Cassandra and David, a couple of tremendously nice-looking Belgians who have just released their sophomore album, Cuts, on Anorak Supersport. I have listened to Cuts an embarrassing number of times already because I’m a little bit in love with everything about it. It’s the combination of two distinct personalities within their sassy synth-pop aesthetic – the gorgeously dark with a hint of psychaedelia, and the twitchy CSS-like dance-inducer – that make this album a total keeper (I need a new hard drive). Visit Anorak Supersport’s page now to pick up a copy.
