Despite having only lived here for four years, and spent 14 months of that looking for houses elsewhere in London, and 22 months on trains and buses back from other places in the city, a certain level of pride swells up in me when I hear a band from West London. So it is with Beneath The Wave. Angular math rock softened by glistening pop melodies, this is danceable intellectual indie, that cites references as wide spanning as Igor Stravinsky to Steven Stapleton, and includes samples EP from Professor Brian Cox, Phillip Glass, Charles Manson, Duke Ellington and the film American Psycho. Second Circle is the lead track from their debut EP Ubiquitous Meter, which is available at any price you want to pay from their bandcamp.
