2econd Class CitizenComing to you from Huddersfield via Berlin, Aaron Thomason’s sound hints that beats and folk might be nifty bedmates after all.

His self-styled Wyred Folk will send some eyeballs to the ceiling, but the layers of folksy strings that team up with the unrelenting, oddly melodic drum loops manage to steer the sound straight towards pensive, comedown electronica. Equally, the monotonic wailing might put some people off, though it’s hard to resist when cooked up with ballsy guitar-driven power ballads, scratches and those freaky breaks.

It might even be possible to sidestep the smidge of narcissism that sneaks in, but with a bit of luck that crease will be ironed out by the time the E of EP becomes an L. If it does, we might even be laughing. (Jim Pyett)
