Tom Vek - ‘Sherman (Animals In The Jungle)'

The only thing I knew about Tom Vek before now was that he once made a fantastic remix of a Bombay Bicycle Club song. His original work has been described as dance-punk, and seems to ride the border between garbled, lo-fi guitar music and attack-oriented electronics.

I didn’t think I’d be able to deal with the initial synth stabs and Vek’s punctual drawl on repeat listens, but something about the insistent beat and twisted guitars draws me in. It’s not just a catchy song, it’s a song with attitude, and delivered with frankness. If you feel it too, you might want to check out his album Luck when it comes out June 9.

Give it a shot. It might grow on you.
