Wow these guys really are something to get your head round. The Norwegian nine piece are one of the most exciting, original bands I have heard in quite a while, their odd arrangements and lush, textured sound are second to none at the moment.
'One Armed Bandit' is the first single to be lifted from their upcoming album of the same name and it's three and a half minutes of incredible music the likes of which you just wouldn't hear anywhere else, with the song flying off in completely different directions almost every thirty seconds, starting off as though it could be the soundtrack to some kind of late seventies NY police show then breaking in the middle to turn all psychedelic and synthy. Challenging yet extremely easy on the ear.
There really is a whole lot crammed into a three minute single. If there is one thing you should do in the week commencing it's check Jaga Jazzist out.
