These New Puritans to play Dublin

These New Puritans, a mysterious quartet of nineteen-year-olds, will be releasing their debut LP Beat Pyramid in the spring and are playing Dublin's Crawdaddy on February 20 in support of it.

The band have already released a double-A side single 'Colours/Numbers' and the October 2006 EP Now Pluvial, which was recorded in harsh digital audio on bandleader Jack Barnett's laptop. The EP was released on 7" vinyl in a limited edition of 500 copies by Angular Records, before being made available as a free download for a single day, and then deleted.

The strangeness doesn't stop there, with the band's website splattered with cryptic writings and links to pictures of boiling water and trees speeding past car windows. They also count among their influences 'Sonic Youth and dubstep, This Heat and Greek pottery, David Lynch and Dr. Feelgood, J Dilla and the 16th century occultist John Dee'. We're scared already!

Tickets for what should be a fascinating night's entertainment are available now, priced €14.
