Exit: Pursued By A Bear - Exit: Pursued By A Bear

There are some really solid ‘Blue Monday’-era New Order moments on this ambitious debut by Cork’s Exit: Pursued By A Bear – ‘You Got Burned’ is a full-on techno floor-smasher, 'Amédée’ is blessed with a genius zigzagging blip interlude and closing track ‘Squirm’ has a charming apocalyptic flow. Elsewhere, ‘Charter Of Basic Principles’ is a groovesome mash of hefty percussion, jolting guitars and ricochet-ing bleeps. A genuine groove sensation.
