Experimentální bratrské duo These New Puritans, opěvované Björk, Massive Attack i Eltonem Johnem, přichází s pátou studiovou deskou Crooked Wing. Album, jehož pilotní singl Industrial Love Song je featem s Caroline Polachek, v říjnu představí ve smíchovské MeetFactory ✭
Dvojčata Jack a George Barnettovi položili základy projektu These New Puritans okolo roku 2006, jejich první studiové album Beat Pyramid spatřilo světlo světa o dva roky později. Eklektický zvuk TNP od samých počátků inspirovala široká škála vlivů; od Wu-Tang Clan přes minimalismus Steva Reicha, motoriku post-punku, elektronickou avantgardu a IDM až po dancehall a neoklasicismus.
Kapela letos navazuje na svou desku Inside the Rose z roku 2019 zbrusu novým studiovým albem Crooked Wing, které (opět) koprodukoval Graham Sutton, zakladatel kultovního post-rockového uskupení Bark Psychosis. Album, které oficiálně vychází 23. května, se zrodilo s úderem zvonu a je to právě jeden z prvních singlů s názvem Bells, který kompaktně destiluje étos celé nahrávky. Bohatá a přesto striktně omezená instrumentace (varhany, starodávné zvony a laděné perkuse), uhrančivé vokály a imerzivní drony okupují liminální zvukový prostor dělící krásné a líbezné od brutálního a disonantního.
These New Puritans se po dvanácti letech vrací do MeetFactory, kde novou desku Crooked Wing představí v pondělí 27. října.
"With its melancholy, exultation and occasional blasts of menacing drums, Crooked Wing is instantly recognisable as a These New Puritans record, but the band are now going to places they have never been before in their two-decade avant-pop career." — The Guardian

Art-rock twin project These New Puritans—praised by Björk, Massive Attack, and Elton John—returns to MeetFactory with their fifth studio album Crooked Wing, featuring Caroline Polachek on lead single Industrial Love Song ✭
Twin brothers Jack and George Barnett laid the foundations for These New Puritans around 2006, with their first studio album Beat Pyramid released two years later. Since its inception, TNP's eclectic sound has been drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences—from Wu-Tang Clan and Steve Reich's minimalism, to post-punk gloom, avantgarde electronica and IDM, all the way to dancehall and neo-classical.
This year, the band follows up their 2019 album Inside the Rose with a new studio record titled Crooked Wing, co-produced by Graham Sutton, founder of cult post-rock group Bark Psychosis. The album, out on May 23rd via Domino Recordings, was born with the strike of a bell, and it is the single Bells that distills the ethos of the entire record. “This song started with a field recording we made of a bell in a small Orthodox Greek church. You can hear it in the song, and the rest of the song grew out of it. That one bell strike set a lot of the album in motion.” Rich yet deliberately restricted instrumentation (organs, ancient bells, and tuned percussion), hazy vocals, and immersive soundscapes occupy a liminal sonic space between the brutal and the beautiful.
These New Puritans return to MeetFactory after twelve years on Monday, October 27.
