I managed to find "Untrue" and was able to listen to some of it just now while I was out running some errands. It seems pretty good though very different from what I was expecting. For some reason I had the idea in my head that dubstep was more of a musical cousin to grime. It actually seems much closer to trip-hop though with—very surprisingly to me—a faint whiff of late 80s bands like Enigma.
I like it, especially the beats. I'm kind of a sucker for UK style dance beats though, they're always much more fractured and interesting than their American counterparts.
