Back in 2008, Prinzhorn Dance School released a debut album of mesmerising austerity. Three years later, the very aspects of Prinzhorn Dance School's music which non-believers previously found most bewildering and divisive - its starkness, its sombre wit - suddenly feel more in tune with the times. It's hard to think of a band whose music gives a more thrillingly clear picture of what living in 21st century Britain is actually like than Prinzhorn Dance School. And from the livid call and response of 'Your Fire Has Gone Out' to the sensual domestic harmony of 'Sing Orderly', this not-so-difficult second album is a record to entrance sceptics and re-convert the converted.
