The first cut from the band’s third album Love Frequency, ‘There Is No Other Time’ is a surprising change of direction, possibly down to their work with Gorgon City on this piece.
There’s certainly a more dance focussed feeling to it and it just about skates around familiar territory to deliver something that’s both poppy and funky whilst retaining a certain catchiness.
It’s certainly more commercial than their more famous early material and perhaps lacks a distinctiveness because of it, but it’s pretty nifty.

Love Frequency is due out on 2 June and features production from LCD Soundsytem’s James Murphy, Erol Alkan and Tom Rowlands from The Chemical Brothers as well as Gorgon City.
