The Hours - ‘Ali In The Jungle’

If you are a staunch fan of The Hours, you'll know that this single has already been released as a limited edition ahead of the debut album ‘Narcissus Road’ in 2006. Incessant drums, clicks and piano make this track sounds like a million clocks and metronomes all going at once, this could either drive you crazy or seduce you in an arty type way which seems to be the effect it has had on Damien Hirst who says the band are ‘****ing genius, musically’. Some weird commentary at the end with historical and biblical references throughout means it's for not for the ones of us with lower brows. An apparent favourite at live shows expect this to be a high point of their festival sets.

Released 09/07/07 on Polydor Records
