Clean Bandit - Dust Clears


With forthcoming festival dates at Glastonbury, Latitude, Reading & Leeds and Secret Garden Party, Clean Bandit are set to continue their assault on the UK music scene over the summer with their unique brand of garage, electro and classical music.

Dust Clears follows the brilliant singles Mozart's House and A&E and is taken from a new EP released in June.  It begins with a more mournful sound of downbeat lyrics and icy synths, before lurching into a chorus comprising live strings, skittering beats and an obscene bassline typical of the group.  The result is another huge hit that brings something different to electronic music in a world of generic EDM.

And as we've come to expect, the video for Dust Clears is as imaginative as ever - this time shot in Sweden and featuring ice-skating on a frozen lake, amusing lip-synching and beautiful vistas.

Utterly refreshing.

4/5
