Belfast’s Deeply Armed have been making subterranean waves for a while now, with tracks being passed around serious heads via various samizdat channels. Andrew Weatherall was an early booster. David Holmes dropped an incredible psychedelic remix that was played out live on specific ritual occasions – but now the trio finally break cover with a three-track 12” that combines deep soul with Krautrock grooves and a rock and roll heart.

With their debut 12” Deeply Armed announce themselves as a singular presence on the fringes of electronic underground sound, hallucinating the kind of phantom dancefloor moves that would reconcile the version, the loop and the live jam with the kind of audacious pop elan of a dream Phil Spector/Dennis Bovell/Conny Plank mega mix.

At times like these we could all do with a little healing, and Deeply Armed are the ones to bring it.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Incredible record that should unite the clans be it disco, psyche, wave... and with Radioactive Man on the remix, it should at least pique the attention of even the lesser devoted electronic music lover. For me - single of the year so far. Uplifting, simmering, hypnotic, gently ascending into the blue skies like a zeppelin.
