ƒIN is the most innovative album so far this year and one of the exceptional debuts of many that will be flooding 2012.

No One Can Ever Know is the third full length from the boys from Kilsyth, Scotland and with a mysterious yet fashionable sound, this album is the most accessible yet.

This album sounds like a strange lovechild between Metronomy and Hot Chip with some lashings of Franz Ferdinand thrown in for good measure

This is an album which might be too tough for some peoples' ears, but deep down this is a scream out and a fist in the air

Judging from this record, growing up is a pretty painful affair. If it produces art this good, I wouldn't have it any other way.

'Illuminated People' serves like a manual on how to make great experimental music delivered by the new masters of the craft, Islet.

If this album remained 'underground', strictly for the ears of the coolest 'sound foragers' then that would be a crying shame
