4) PLUG are the latest hopes on PARLOUR RECORDS, home of Le Tetsuo and Factory Floor, amongst others. post-punk femme minimalism pervades this duo, with a real nod to Au Pairs and The Slits - sparse tub thumping, conversational, spiraling bass patterns and tribal vocal harmonies topped with Wurlitzer-style organs trilling underneath.
