introduced to me by urban... i got to catch this group perform last night, here's what i wrote about it recently:

"Tue 19 Feb – Russian Circles, Dälek, Young Widows

Somewhere in between Throbbing Gristle and the Wu-Tang Clan lies the magical world of Dalek, filled with computer glitches, swirling noise, and some of the most bitter and cutting lines you will every hear a rapper spit at you. I almost never get very excited about current acts, but it's such a wonderful change to hear a truly revolutionary and progressive group. I don't know how long it will take people to catch on... could be decades... but noise and rap are perfect complements. Nothing puts force behind twisted rhymes and rants like a blast of feedback. Russian Circles were pretty good too, but seemed pretty tepid in comparison."

Really, it was an absolutely amazing show. These guys should be five million times as popular as they are.
