if you like this album make you sure you also check out other modular acts cut copy and midnight juggernauts as both have also released great albums this year (and are not a million miles away from the presets in sound)

In fact one of my favourite iPod playlists this year has been a Modular one i put together which has these three albums plus the Muscles one

And i haven't heard it yet but the new Ladyhawke album has been getting some good reviews too

Don't let the abysmal cover art deceive you, that album is actually very, very good.

ha! I actually originally started to write about the Midnight Juggernauts' album but then I wasn't sure if it came out this year, or late last year... and my review was pretty much "they sound like the Presets"

I dug Cut Copy's album at first... but it really hasn't gotten many plays after that first 2 week period (save for "Lights & Music")
