Joy Atlas unleash dizzyingly catchy math-pop gem "Altitude"

26 September 2016, 14:15 | Written by Laurence Day

Newcastle synthpop troupe Joy Atlas aim for the stratosphere with latest single "Altitude".

Vocalist Beccy Owen navigates a ragged synth landscape with her rollercoaster delivery. "Altitude" is frequently surprising, turning at right angles into new ideas and sounds - it's jagged, with cascading synth flows darting between stuttering beats and flippant section shifts. "Altitude" is gorgeously addictive with a plethora of hooks to wrap your chops around, but it's not your standard pop cut - not by a long shot.

Listen to "Altitude" below.
