things hover up in Fenland, it seems, for this debut single from
Cambridge chaps The Resistance is arguably the best song of the
week by a band we've never heard of before. Guitars that sound like
a gradually strengthening harsh Siberian wind bending frozen winter
reeds, a pulsing electronic-tinged rhythm and taut bass lead '(Crossing
The Road) With You Eyes Closed' (really no need for those brackets,
was there?) in a Krautrock march past, 'Sleeping' would be perfect
disco fodder for automaton ghouls, and 'Polar' is, well, rather
glacial.
