Wow! There's a good chance that some of you may have already heard Errors. They formed in 2004 after all. But they've been pretty niche and somewhat low key despite releasing their debut album and a host of Eps and singles. That is very likely to change soon.
So you might have heard the single 'A Rumour in Africa' which came out this week and proceeds the album's release. All bouncy prog-rhythmic it is. I'd like to say that 'Come Down With Me' is the first album of the year which has got my heart racing. But as Hidden by These New Puritans beat them too it I can't. Errors sophomore release does take it's rightful spot as the second album of the year to give me a rush.
There's a lighter tone at work here. The aforementioned Africa and Gallic infused Supertribe being key examples but the traces of Kraut-rawk and gloom still loom with welcome intent.
The Glasgow quartet have managed to embue these songs with an organic fairy dust which tempers the harsh but (mostly) melodic artifice of electronic jabs and stabs. At times this is like listening to "Post-Rock: The Bontempi Years" and I say this as a fan and someone who considers this a compliment even if it doesn't sound like one!
It's obviously very early days yet but this could be a contender for album of the year come December. Yeah you heard.
