I suppose you could call Don’t Wait Animate (a.k.a. “DWA”) a trip hop or dubstep band, but since I generally hate those genres-and I really enjoyed their latest EP, Overcast Up Concrete Down, I’m not going to classify them as anything other than Indie.
The 5-member band from England sounds a little bit like Bloc Party used to (when BP was still good), but without the punky edge. Maybe if Bloc Party covered Unkle. Or were produced by Four Tet.
The vocals and music combine with a sense of urgency and danger–desperate passion. These are a group of guys you really need to hear. And I need to hear more from.
