Sirens
dj Methodist feat. Joan Ap Shap
2/07/07
DJ Methodist.....making a bid to kickstart the ElectroSoulGoth movement we've all been waiting for. PopJustice - December 2006 Those among you with not to distant memories may well recall us a whooping and a hollering at DJ Methodists' (David Handford to his parents) faithful re-branding of Joy Divisions' 'Digital' a little while back. Now after what seems like an unfeasibly lengthy sabbatical 'Sirens' marks the first of what's promised to be a series of singles that'll hit all the most knowing turntables in the run up to the 'Seven Nights' full length which is tentatively pencilled for release next year. 'Sirens' is dirty, sexy and filleted with a groove so tenacious it does things so strange to your nervous system that you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd started marketing some kind of vinyl Viagra. Simultaneously tapping into the more seductively laced elements of electro clash and cool wave to subtly decode them with a liberal sprinkling of mid 80's accents via Propaganda and Art of Noise this makes Primal Scream's recent flirting with Kate Moss seem positively impotent. In fact its so damn salacious you'll need a bucket of cold water to prise the bugger from the hi-fi - club floors beware. Flip side features 'Market Street 3am' which if I didn't know any better I'd say has all the trappings of a collaboration between a poppified inclined Pimmon and a wonky Wagon Christ who after a night out supping beer and discussing world domination tactics have unwittingly returned to the studio only to find Gerry Anderson's Mysterons and Robert the Robot have taken up residence to dick about with the mixing desk. Top stuff as though you needed telling and in case you needed further prodding limited to just 500 copies. Consider yourself warned. Losing Today - December 2006 Ditching any experimental aspirations for the A-side, Llandudoch's David Handford dons his dj Methodist hat for a semi-sleazy pop that would've demanded an electroclash remix a few years back. The flipside is an underwater mental breakdown that, roughly speaking does what Squarepusher should have when he covered Joy Division.**** Buzz - November 2006
