After remixing the likes of Tom Vek and those neon, new rave tykes Klaxons (yay! and they’ll be in Perth soon too), Jens Moelle and Ismail Tuefekci, aka Digitalism, have aimed their own robotic house-rock at the dance floors of the world. It’s the perfect move, considering cats such as Simian Mobile Disco and LCD Soundsystem thrive as healthily as any sub-Libertines trilby-rockers. Indeed, Idealism is dusted with the kind of metallic house glitter caking LCD’s Sound Of Silver, and, just as promisingly, the title track could have been carved from Daft Punk before they decided they were human after all. Elsewhere, synth-punch Pogo thwacks like a double uppercut from The Chemical Brothers. Just one of the block rockin’ feats here.
