Music: IST IST RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND ANNOUNCE NOTTINGHAM DATE

 

The second single to be taken from their debut album, Architecture, ‘You’re Mine’ wastes little time in establishing itself as archetypal ist ist. Almost instantly a motoric drumbeat propels the track forward with an incessant freneticism that refuses to let up, entwining with bass and synth to create a bottom end that’s equal parts understated and enthralling. Obviously firm believes in the “less is more” mantra, even frontman Adam Houghton’s are somewhat understated, though typically sonorous and always impactful in their delivery.

Each single taken from Architecture will have its own accompanying visuals that will make the descent in to ist ist’s psyche all the more visceral, something that should come as little surprise for anyone that’s followed the band since their inception as their visuals and light shows have become integral to the ist ist live experience.

It’s these shows on which ist ist cut their teeth, cementing their reputation as true forces to be reckoned with. This Spring, the band will embark on a seven-date tour of their biggest headline shows to date. The dates are:
