Arcadia / No Corruption

Despite having only formed in August 2013, the duo of Alex Noble (vocals, guitars and keyboards) and Charlie Burley (production, samples, guitars and keyboards) have already received tremendous support from BBC Introducing's Dean Jackson. Merging gigantic synthpop glitter with the dark of post-punks like Interpol, 'No Corruption' is a confrontational tune with a core worth taking note of. Backed by dark chiming pads, robust beats and some behemoth axes licks, the band create a powerful slab of noise. Combining influences ranging from pioneering artists such as Jon Hopkins, Aphex Twin, LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead and a pop sensibility that recalls the likes of Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Cut Copy.
