Ptar
Ptar are already infamous ahead of their first release. Incubated by East London's enigmatic Oil Records, rumours abound of this music's provenance, and whether PTAR's members really were blackballed by a secret society. Whatever the truth, PTAR's debut is a propulsive thrill ride both proto-pop and post-rave. 'High Renaissance' is a secular devotional for the end of days, a two-and-a-half minute liturgy for the new world order, a prophetic lament: set to rock 'n' roll guitar, synth stabs and hypnotic bass drum, this track defies resistance as well as categorisation. Accompanied by equally peripatetic visuals, seemingly made on a Devil's Wheel, PTAR come from a world heavy with occult symbolism. Its rumoured that PTAR have been blackballed by a secret society. Their music delivers a secular devotional for the end of days, a liturgy for the new world order, a prophetic lament. PTAR is engimatic art pop, music that's as well-dressed, as it is propulsive.
