Bleep

Bristol post-punk / techno outfit SCALER (fka SCALPING) put an exclamation point on their recent name change with a new single for Houndstooth entitled Loam / New Symbols. Linking up with techno maestro (and avowed SCALER fan) Daniel Avery for the very first time, SCALER really gives into their more dancefloor-oriented impulses here, crafting sounds capable of peak-set destruction. ‘Loam’ lands somewhere between the twisted alt rock/rave alchemy of legendary forbearers like The Prodigy, while ‘New Symbols’ splits the difference between where they’ve been and where SCALER is going next.
