Where lo-fi punk crashes headlong into visceral electronica you’ll find Glasgow quartet Errors. Abum number three finds them as thrillingly wired as ever. Opener ‘Tusk’ exemplifies the taut energy contained in the ten tracks, the tumbling rhythms matched by clean synth lines, its melody executed as neatly as a Fred Astaire pirouette. Such brilliance is sustained for the remainder of the record. And, whilst songs like ‘Blank Media’ and ‘The Knock’ – with their trance-like chords and hazy vocals – might indicate a more subdued mood than on previous releases, the hybridised sound of ‘Pleasure Palaces’, with its vibrant electro house groove, spectral voice and flamboyant beats, proves they can still be thrillingly disorientating. Reminiscent of Animal Collective, ‘Earthscore’, creates a fuzzy bath of twinkling effects and fluttering rhythms, before the sedative drift of ‘Cloud Chamber’ and, finally, the multi-layered digital epiphany of ‘Holus-Bolus’. All told, with Have Some Faith In Magic, Errors have delivered the uniformly excellent album they’ve always threatened. Francis Jones
