Experimental post-punk/electronica trio, Dark Patterns, have an excellent new single out called Dislocation. Opening with the lines "They’re all coming out the woodwork. What you’re buying, are you not trying. Where have you driven us" it provides a commentary which they say delves "into themes of social hierarchy, undeserved deference, and ‘tugging the forelock’ in an age of chaos, incompetence and division". There's almost a 2-Tone feel to the lyrics and the vocal delivery, but musically there's a fresh approach which smoothly blends elements of drum and bass, electronica and post-punk angst. The production is restrained and even quite delicate at times, especially with regards to the synths. There's an edge and moral undercurrent, but thankfully it is not presented in that all-too-predictable shouty style. Dislocation offers something with a refined confidence, making it much more interesting than the van-loads of the noisy preachers out there.
