Approved: Beautiful Swimmers (SNAP Of The Day)

Maryland duo Beautiful Swimmers are praised for lead track 'O Yea', which borrows drums from New Order's 'True Faith' and mixes in tribal percussion.

Marylanders Beautiful Swimmers were recently described as a cross between Can and Daft Punk, which fits pretty well I reckon.

Lead track 'O Yea' takes it beat from elsewhere, though, nabbing the crashing drums from the start of New Order's 'True Faith', reducing the pace and getting all tribal, mixing in bongos and the type of urgent synth sounds you got in 80s slasher flicks just as the protagonist walks around a corner straight into the villain's lap.

It's a brooding industrial beast and - bonus - the video sets the song to a montage of leotard clad fitness fanatics. Eat that, Eric Prydz.
