Premiere: Codes – Astraea

Irish group unveil new single...

Already cult heroes in their native Ireland, Codes match electronics to rock music in an extremely unique way.

Akin to 65daysofstatic in their visceral appeal, the band manage to sprinkle just a tiny piece of sugar on top to sweeten the blow.

Rightly lauded for debut album 'TreesDreamInAlgebra', Codes have now completed a follow up. 'AALTARS' will be released later this year, but ahead of this Clash can offer a little preview.

Lead single 'Astraea' is a wonderfully succinct introduction to the new album. Produced by Codes own Daragh Anderson, mixed by Clint Murphy (Manic Street Preachers, 50 Cent), the brutality of the electronics is matched by the assured control of the vocals.
