On their great 2011 LP Henge Beat, Melbourne's Total Control managed to offer both deadpan vocals and wonderfully erratic accompanying instruments. On "Flesh War", the first single from their sophomore album Typical System (out June 24 via Iron Lung), they've cleaned up quite a bit. While the song's title would suggest a 25-second hardcore cut, the song is actually very calm, controlled, and streamlined. There are these glowing, beatific synths that hang over everything else when the chorus hits. It's a track with momentum and warmth. The song might require an adjustment for fans who carried a torch for Henge Beat, but Human League stans will be pleased.
