| BAIT - Push The Elephant |
Release Date: 24th February 2017
For once I am genuinely
struggling to type something meaningful here that will add to what I’ve been
listening to on a loop for the last 10 minutes. BAIT is an elusive audio-visual
artist from the UK (I think, information is scant) and this single is his (I
think) latest release. ‘Push The Elephant’ is 165 seconds of unforgiving,
relentless and churning indie-art-rock that channels the Killing Joke, Death in
Vegas, the Chemical Brother and the Prodigy at their most brutalist. Throw in
some punk vocals and a real sense of clenched teeth anger and you’re getting
close but I wouldn’t get too close – this song will bite you if it gets the
chance. I’m hooked on the circular riff and football chant of “push the
elephant” which is now burrowed deep in to my brain like the earworm that
tequila couldn’t kill off. A strong contender for single of the year already.
