Bleep

James Holden’s long-awaited sequel to ‘The Idiots Are Winning’ is preceded by this three-track single, which offers less Nathan Barley quotes and more of the innovative, bruising electronica that made his debut one of 2006’s most talked about. ‘Renata’ sketches a melody from pulsing retro keyboards and arms it with rough, clumsy beats, which tumble around like a shoe in a washing machine. Remixes from Daphni and Steve Moore explore the melody in finer detail.
