These New Puritans are a British art punk rock band .The group consists of Jack Barnett (songwriter, producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist), his twin brother George Barnett (drums, loops), Thomas Hein (bass guitar, sampler, drums), and Sophie Sleigh-Johnson (keyboards, sampler).
This art-punk rock band started making music together in 2006 and made a name for themselves in 2008 with Beat Pyramid, an urgent and quintessentially British post-punk opus.
The band’s follow-up, Hidden , explores new sounds—it’s a grand, sweeping epic of an album that incorporates six-foot Japanese drums, brass and woodwind sections, a full school choir and cinematic sound effects. The weighty mix creates a futuristic fusion of classical, hip hop and pop that is heady, challenging and absolutely refreshing.
The album 'Hidden' has been voted official #1 album of 2010 by the NME magazine.
'We Want War' is a song heavily beat-driven, almost entirely absent of guitars, and laced with large amounts of elaborately arranged woodwind and brass.
