Sleuth – ‘He Dines Out On Death’

The best band out of Vancouver since the legendary Organ, the mighty Sleuth first came to my attention in 2011 with their ‘Brave New Nothing’ tape release. Supple and magnificently up-tight all at once, it was clear that Sleuth were bookishly articulate whilst shimmying madly under the disco-ball. That they conjured the spirit of Lizzy Mercier-Descloux getting down and dirty with Scrawl whilst Anna, Sami and Claude strutted their stuff on the silver screen was borne out this year with a cover of this Cristina gem. Now, what label will pony up for a brace of singles or an album in 2013?
