Nedry: “A42”

With its debut full-length, London’s Nedry presents a level of craftsmanship that can take bands a decade to achieve.

A buzzing, semi-glitched electro base — with amorphous, synthesized bass lines — is accented by alternately canorous and distorted guitars. High-voltage drum-and-bass trades with careful balances of electro-acoustic indie elements. Any way that you slice it, this is one hell of a freshman effort.
