Cassius - Youth Speed Trouble Cigarettes

Great new tune from Cassius. Vocal chants, reciting the title of the track work as a powerful hook when combined with an ascending melodic phrase and bassline. The signature of the track, however, is a wailing guitar theme. It gives an almost Prodigy-esque feel to portions of the record, and at one point it's doubled up to create interesting harmonies. The overall tone of YSTC is a kind of growing tension that never quite eases off. "Just One More", speaks the vocal sample before the full beat-driven accompaniment returns. Well produced and smartly written stuff. Plus a nice video mash-up above c/o macofilvideo.
