These New Puritans

These New Puritans are an innovative British band formed in Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom, in 2006 by twin brothers Jack and George Barnett. Renowned for their avant-garde approach and willingness to experiment across genres, the group integrates elements of post-punk, contemporary classical, electronic, and industrial music into their sound. Their debut album, "Beat Pyramid" (2008), received acclaim for its minimalist rhythms and cryptic lyricism, while their ambitious follow-up, "Hidden" (2010), pushed boundaries with its orchestral arrangements, Taiko drums, and woodwind ensembles, earning the NME Album of the Year award.

The group continued evolving with albums like "Field of Reeds" (2013), delving into more intricate, cinematic soundscapes with contributions from classical musicians and choirs. Known for their intense, atmospheric live performances and meticulous studio craft, These New Puritans have developed a reputation as one of Britain’s most forward-thinking and unpredictable acts, with Jack Barnett’s visionary songwriting and production at the core of their ever-shifting identity.
