You know, this is not the era of British indie. More like the era of weird electronic music from weird parts of the world. However, one can find hidden gems in the trash that used to be the NME-scene. One town is still particularly interesting: Leeds. Grammatics are a four-piece who are on the same ‘team’ sound-wise as Forward, Russia!, This Et Al and even a bit emo-y. On the other hand, the use strange dance-rhythms and stuff that puts them in league with Foals and These New Puritans. On thing I’m not totally down with is the vocals… too emotional and reminds me of Coldplay sometimes. If I wanna be nice, then Radiohead or Placebo. Otherwise, with the girl-vocal on Inkjet Lakes it is kinda cool. If there’s something worth paying attention to in this genre, the Grammatics are definetly one of them. While waiting for the debut, buy the Vague Archive single and show some myspace-love and check out their videos.
