RECORD OF THE WEEK - EGYPTIAN HIP HOP, Moon Crooner

A BIT of plinky synth, ailing indie boy vocals and some beats here and there – this seems to be the formula for what the cool kids are listening to. Egyptian Hip Hop (who are neither of these things) have seized upon this. It’s easy to imagine hearing this on the Barfly dancefloor, though I fear the synth section, while the best feature, is at risk of being particularly annoy ing. Moon Crooner EP is out September 20.
