Errors

Errors are a band I have recently discovered from that hotbed of musical genius, Glasgow. However, unlike the typical indie pop or post-punk bands the city has historically produced, Errors make electronica, with comparisons being drawn, amongst others, to their fellow countrymen Boards of Canada. Their spectacularly titled debut EP How Clean Is Your Acid House? is a great collection on repeat on my iPod, taking obvious influences from the typical electronica staples like Four Tet and Squarepusher, as well as seemingly some post-rock: indeed, they're signed to Mogwai's own label, Rock Action Records and have supported them on tour, as well as eclecticly supporting Sons and Daughters and Explosions in the Sky.

Mr Milk, the opening track, is brilliantly catchy and builds up into a multi-layered mishmash of bleeps, beats and buzzes that somehow works and is even, dare I say it, danceable. Terror Tricks and Crew Cut have indistinguishable computerised vocals beneath the fits and starts of drumbeats, fuzzy guitar, addictive basslines and, err, more computer noises. Last track Songos Ya Mongos! even has a riff recognisable as a guitar! Praise from the critics is reverberating around the Clyde for this lot; they're certainly promising.
