Hmmmmm... These New Puritans have hidden 'Hidden' from Spotify. Could they be scared that people are going to realise it's not a face-tearing soul-munching masterpiece, but instead possesses the epic qualities of a mousetrap or a shoelace?
Probably not. It's much more likely some copyright issue.
But Sonic Mouth is worried, it loves These New Puritans first-offering, and had to change its underpants when white sticky stuff punctuated the first listen of We Want War; but the 'Hidden' is just a few poor ideas, clumsily stapled together with sub-contracted talent. Jack Barnett can theorise as much as he wants about 'Hidden' and its concepts, but any claims he makes about the ethos behind the music are surely formulated retrospectively and cannot be credited as 'vision'.
And why do These New Puritans insist on being abbreviated to TNPS? I noticed the NME couldn't make their mind up whether it was TNP or TNPS in their feature last week, choosing to use both. Nice editing Krissi Murison. [But Sonic Mouth still loves you]
