All Systems Are Lying
Soulwax has always been great at eroding the lines between rock and dance music, utilising and harnessing the power of the riff in an electronic context. This continues to be forcefully apparent on tracks like "Idiots In Love". Print edition only

The BPM

The Spiritual Sound
The instrumentation and sequencing, the fury and fragility. Whatever magical combination has coalesced to create this record, I’m all in. I can’t get enough of it. I’ve got a new band occupying that space in my mind where I know they can create special music and that makes me immensely happy
