A shared love of artists such as KRAFTWERK, DEAD CAN DANCE, NINE INCH NAILS and PANTHA DU PRINCE informs their 'midi-evil disco' / industrial sound, which -- through reviews of their live shows -- has invited comparisons with HTRK, SIOUXSIE, IKE YARD, TELEPATHE & PiL. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pre! ss: "'Anomie' sees vocoded tones trailing out over a backdrop of ebbing, doomy keys and drones that's lulling and menacing at the same time, only for distorted drum machine rhythms and explosion effects to suddenly lock into precise focus as the track begins to ascend towards a fiery conclusion amidst clattering live drums, eerily delicate piano keys and distorted pulsing digital effects ... an impressive debut offering from Tantrums that left me wanting to hear more from this Melbourne band." -Cyclic
