The English four-piece These New Puritans play Fall- and PiL-inspired music that also takes on elements of electronica and dance. Comprised of Jack Barnett, his twin brother George, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, and Thomas Hein, the band formed in 2006, when all the members were still in their teens. After issuing the 2007 single, "Navigate, Navigate," the band quickly issued the EP Now Pluvial on Angular Records. Their first U.S. release. "Navigate, Navigate," came out in America in February 2008, a 12" that acted as a primer for their debut full-length, Beat Pyramid, which emerged the following month. ~ Marisa Brown
