These New Puritans (sometimes abbreviated to TNPS) are a British art rock band from the Southend-on-Sea area. The group consists of Jack Barnett (songwriter, producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist), his twin brother George Barnett (drums, loops), Thomas Hein (bass guitar, sampler, drums), and Sophie Sleigh-Johnson (keyboards, sampler). They have recorded two albums, Beat Pyramid, released in 2008, and Hidden, released in 2010.
In a 2008 interview, Jack Barnett said that hip hop ensemble Wu-Tang Clan, especially member RZA, influenced the first album Beat Pyramid. Other inspirations include the electronic music of Aphex Twin and the cartoon series The Smurfs. At the time, Artrocker described These New Puritans as sounding like “Sheffield and Berlin synths, ’90s alt rock Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo drones, Underworld beats; and all in the most contemporary of contexts”. Unusually for a rock group, the band often incorporate the same section of music into different songs as refrains.

Actually if you play "Hidden" as background music to a game such as Age of Empires or any other type of war RTS, it fits extremely well. You'll be listening to it on repeat without even knowing.

My two cents: I' ve been listening to Hidden less and less with time passing, but that's not because I changed my mind about its quality, yet because there's always new material worth a listen in this 2010. Plus, I'd dare to say TNPS' sophomore record isn't something you'd listen to while on the beach ;-)

@Schayzelden I agree so much. Hidden is so perfect for my ears months after it was released. Then my interest waned soon after and I think it's not really that good. :|
