“Cosmically synthetic, subversively euphoric.”

“Dystopia, was a euphoric hammering together of Krautrock grooves, psychedelic flights of melodic fancy and post-Justice grindy synth noises. And they’re certainly worth checking out live, providing you don’t have to go into work early the next day. Their literally staggering performance at Lovebox… was one of the highlights of this year’s festival.”
