Over the last couple of years Tired Irie have dabbled in dark indie pop (Editors/Interpol style) and latterly something approaching post rock. Their latest EP on the quality vinyl platform Try Harder is a revelation. Stirring in everything they know, whilst dreaming of things they wish they knew, their self-titled four tracker drips in catchy guitar hooks and a disco / electronic driven burble located comfortably beneath the constant exchange of riffs and the superbly interlocked sequencing and effects. “Skipteque” is like a 21st century version of ACR, as warm but almost robotic melodies and chants skew against the hypnotic two note signature of a guitar flailing off a four for the floor beat. This is the first band at least recently , if not ever to successfully combine serious electro funk disco with an eerily contagious indie rock sensibility. Mindblowing material from the Leicester quartet. Manuel Ecostos |
