Brooklyn's No Nets announce second album with emo guitar jam "Dark Matter"

Ahead of that, the band led by Sal Mastrocola have unveiled the first taste of record number two in the form of "Dark Matter".

Fittingly for a band made up of punks and (now more grown-up) emo kids the track is equal parts euphoria and unhinged-ness and seemingly made up of about four different songs. Starting out like a 2000s Brooklyn blueprint, Mastrocola's unruly yelp of a vocal (very much Conor Oberst in Desaparecidos mode) drags "Dark Matter" through angular post-punk, brief metal riffing and emo revivalism, never letting up for a breath. It should be a mess but somehow No Nets pull it off.

"Dark Matter" is the sound of a band considering what maturity means to them and their music, and choosing to live for the moment.

Bright Light will be self-released by No Nets on 21 October.
