Eclectic London quintet Y serve a mix of post-punk, vaudeville and leftfield dance pop on their Enter EP. They are a hybrid of Nine Inch Nails, the Dresden Dolls and Roxy Music, which should not work, but it does. While most bands would shy away from adding yet another layer, they keep stacking them up to end up with a quivering tower of sound.
Saxophone and rock guitar are trying to command the sportlights, but the vocals, bass and synths are not having it, elbowing their way in to create a groundswell of jawdropping noise. It's OK to go what-the-fuck and press play again to try to make sense of it.
Enter is released via Hideous Mink Records & SO Recordings (vinyl, digital).
