Beaten By Them

If bands such as All India Radio wet your whistle then she should be adding Beaten By Them’s new EP, People Start Listening, to the list of albums that you need to buy. This truly international group (they hail from San Francisco, New York and Melbourne) have been wowing music lovers for a while now and while their new EP is a step in a new direction it could well be their finest work to date. It may only be a four-tracker, but at least it is four tracks of pure quilty. ‘Damp Sky 3’ is a moody piece of ambient music that even John Foxx would be proud to produce… it really is a stunning track. Then there is ‘Rumours Of Madness’ an atomospheric and industrial sounding track that rises to such sharp points that any listener sitting too close to the speaker is guaranteed to get a little shock. You just have to love a track that has the ability to evoke an emotion like that from someone. ‘Damp Sky 4’ is a dark and sinister track with strong bass beat while ‘It Can Take You Higher’ sees the group uses their guitars more which brings a rockier sound to the track… think in mind of something that Melbourne band Laura would produce. If you’re looking for something a little different than you can’t go wrong with People Start Listening by Beaten By Them… these talented musicians just get better and better with each album they release.
