Indie electronic pop outfit Butcher Blades/ (backslash included) hail from the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick, and they make the sort of exceptional digitally-programmed dance music that sits well along with the young generation of bedroom producers and also the seasoned veterans of electro house in the European continent. And at 26, they're young and on the rise, and "Jigsaw Limbs" is evidence of their path, all choppy, blippy, crunchy and top-to-bottom fun. (mp3) Butcher Blades/ - Jigsaw Limbs Godspeed!
