These New Puritans - Inside The Rose

Facts Brutal and beautiful, Inside The Rose arrives six years after the critically acclaimed album Field of Reeds and is arguably the Barnett brothers' most innovative work to date. Recorded in Berlin, London and Southend-on-Sea, and mixed in Los Angeles, Inside The Rose is a record unlike anything else you'll hear this year - 40 minutes of powerful melodies, lush strings and progressive electronics, packed with jaw-dropping sonic left turns. Reverting to the original duo of brothers Jack and George Barnett, These New Puritans open a new chapter with Inside The Rose. It's sharp romanticism grips like a vice, drawing you into a nocturnal alternate reality where nothing is as it seems. "The songs are about beauty, transcendence, desire, oblivion, ecstasy and eyes," says Jack.
