The Correspondents Return With New Single 'Well Measured Vice'
Monday, 26 November 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
London-based duo The Correspondents have returned with brand new single ‘Well Measured Vice’, set for a January 28th release.
The brand new single is accompanied by a bespoke animated video that has been three months in the making. It was hand-drawn to over 2232 frames by Mr. Bruce himself, whilst he was recovering from a broken metatarsal.
‘Well Measured Vice’ is powerful statement of intent from the swing and hip-hop outfit. Organs, guitars and horns are punctuated by toe-tapping 60’s beats and mesmerising vocals creating a unique sound that is as arresting to the feet as it is to the ear.
Essentially an anti-prohibition anthem against contemporary East London censorship laws, Mr. Bruce proclaims ‘what is life, what is life without well measured vice - and who can argue with that! On the flip remixes come courtesy of Featurecast who gives it the Electro then Dub treatment whilst Chucks himself delivers a bombastic Glitch-Hop banger guaranteed to destroy any dancefloor.
Forming in 2007, The Correspondents quickly burst onto the scene in a whirl of sweat and spandex, picking up plaudits across the board for their frenetic genre-hopping breed of electronica and incendiary live shows, replete with outrageous outfits, travelators and infrared sensor’d light boxes(earning them the Telegraph’s Top 10 Glastonbury highlights two years in a row).
Since then, they have wowed audiences large and small everywhere: from Glastonbury, The Secret Garden Party, Bestival and Lovebox through to Kensington Palace, The Tower Of London, Shambala and Silencio in Paris to name a few.
