Not Squares - Yeah Ok

1 of 1

Fun, brash and often brilliant

Not Squares are putting together an army of the night, and you need to sign up - now.

Fun, brash and often brilliant, Yeah Ok is the Belfast trio chopping up dance and electronic music for a melting pot the size of the city's Odyssey Arena.

There are build-ups packed with unbearable tension, sublime grooves, stunning drums, shouty bloke vocals and, at one stage, the mental image of Michael Douglas throwing shapes in that v-neck in the nightclub scene in 'Basic Instinct', although others will have far classier but no less striking cinematic visions.

Perhaps this album should have been released at the height of summer, but right now it has provided that very, very rare thing: something about 2011 to look forward to. And the strange timing also means that many will be about to give themselves their best Christmas present.
