Blow Up

The Presets

A gritty, distorted debut EP of electroclash and indie-dance. Snotty vocals meet saturated analog synths and aggressive live drumming in a dark basement.

November 17, 2003 · Modular Recordings

A confrontational and gritty energy that balances dancefloor momentum with a snotty, punk-rock attitude.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring transition into the distorted synth hook of track 2 that feels like a physical shove.
The way the live drums on track 1 crash through the electronic sequence with garage-rock sloppiness.
The haunting, slower decay of the final track where the grit finally gives way to a dark melodicism.
