Third Hand Prophecy
words by Stuart Stubbs
Everyone sings about the dole queue these days. And yeah, it’s getting boring. But like Pulp before them, A. Human’s tales of the everyman are peppered with details of fantasy to make their eccentric, theatrical electro deliciously depraved and odd, like naughty voyarism. This, the London sectet’s debut, owes a lot to it’s prowling synths and beats but a hell of a lot more to mad ringmaster Dave Human’s crazed spewings. The band’s cover of America’s ‘Horse With No Name’ is present but so too are some unchallenged witty gems.7/10 in stores now

Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires

autoKratz - Down & Out In Paris & London
As ultra-hip Parisian label Kitsune continually prove with their ‘numbers’ compilations, they’re dance heads that rarely get it wrong.
