PlayMusic Demo of the Month

"THIS is how it's done. 1DPS ...are smart enough to realise that electronica has to be handled with care when vocals are concerned. Consequently, while the backing here occasionally strays into fat synthland, it doesn't overpower singer Minna's voice by being too hard or clinical, and Minna herself doesn't embellish what God gave her with mock American flourishes or drama student airs. She's the kind of girl who sounds like she'd be just as at home singing with some inaccessable grrl group, a fey indie band or Stereolab. 1DPS are somewhere between all three and aren't afraid to explore both ends of the electronic indie spectrum- at one they sound like Ladytron, at the other Curve... the atmosphere is good: dirty and a bit melancholic. Nice." ">

The band have taken this as an excuse to pack the chum in hard and now sieze every available opportunity to be photographed falling out of nightclubs with Helen Mirren.
