Video Of The Week: Technical Kidman

I've been onto these guys since booking one of their first shows for my yearly festival, UnPop Montréal, but Technical Kidman are now a whole different beast than they were three years ago.

Gone are the forays into slow, melodic layered rock that spawned mid-2000s-era Radiohead comparisons, and in come pulse-pounding beats that channel tribal music but with added synths and bass just seems like ''futuristic in the way we thought futuristic was going to be in 1996''. Meaning we're here now, and we're hearing just that. It leaves an impression of ''this can't be happening'' in the back of your head as you're coerced into dancing by the hypnotic beat.
