Tempering a synth-laden swagger with heavy beats and thrashing guitar, the Death Set's electro ditties are as anthemic as they are aggressive. Emerging from the same scene as dance anarchist Dan Deacon (who remixed a tune at the end of the band's last EP), the 'Set join acts like No Age and Times New Viking in the marriage of lo-fi aesthetics and new-school gutter punk. The difference? The tunes in the Death Set's repertoire hold up just as well at a party as they do in the pit.
