Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Lex Records)
UK release date:10 September 2007
If you'd been channel-hopping during the BBC's recent coverage of the Reading/Leeds Festival, you may have chanced upon a bearded gentleman reading modern-day commandments over a ridiculously catchy electro melody.
That bearded man was Scroobius Pip with his cohort Dan Le Sac, and this follow up to Thou Shalt Always Kill is the perfect soundtrack to this Indian summer we're currently enjoying. Le Sac lays down the bouncy electro melody, while Pip deadpans his way through some of the best lyrics you'll hear all year.
"Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount a plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance, instead of drunk belligerence and the dissidence of miscreants" may not be your average pop lyric, but this isn't your average song. The real joy is to be found in how the duo turn this unlikely formula into one of the catchiest things you'll hear all year - brilliant stuff, thou shallst buy this.
