Why is there no thread on these guys? Nights Out is one of my favourite albums of 08, whilst Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe) is, in my opinion, even better. Definetly one of the best British acts around at present

What do you Minx's think?

There is no thread 'cos I have never heard them. Genre? Sound?

Well Pip Paine is mostly instrumental electro. Influences include Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin and, to an extent, Talking Heads.

Nights Out is more of a mainstream album. It consists of much more accessable, conventionally structured pop songs whilst maintaining the electro of the first album.

Pip Paine was a really good album. "Trick or Treatz" is seriously one of my favorite songs ever, for reasons I can't really explain.

I liked "My Heart Rate Rapid," but haven't really bothered to give the new album a listen yet. So much 08 stuff to catch up on already. :/

Finally downloaded Nights out after about three months of smack talk from my band mate, and it is excellent. Although no one here will really care , cause electronica seems largely ignored here.......

Bump, Cairo i feel your pain, the lack of reaction to this band on here is nothing short of frustrating.

It does seem that anything electronica meets a pretty quick death on here, so it's not entirely unexpected.

Pip Paine is so good, it gets better with every listen, so subtle yet chaotic at the same time; with some of the best hooks and beats i've heard in electro.
