Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom (2006 – present)

These New Puritans (formed in 2006) are a four-piece band from Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom, consisting of Jack Barnett, his twin brother George Barnett, Tomas Hein and Sophie Sleigh-Johnson.

These New Puritans’ sound is difficult to nail down, as they utilise a wide variety of instruments and sounds, from bassoons to huge synthesised drums. Influenced equally by hip-hop, synth pop and alternative rock, the Southend-On-Sea fourpiece have received large amounts of critical praise in theearly stage of their career. ‘Hidden’ features an even wider variety of sound, utilising Foley recording techniques andchoirs as well as their usual ensemble of instruments.

These New Puritans were commissioned by Hedi Slimane to compose the soundtrack for the 2007 Dior Homme show. The band’s debut album “Beat Pyramid” was released in the UK in January 2008.
