Watch: SBTRKT - 'Wildfire'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater June 27th, 2011

Last week SBTRKT's self-titled debut record scored 9/10 from us and was also put onto the Recommended Records category on our frontpage. You can read Bronya Louise Francis's review of it here, but she described it as:

"Representing UK production at its best, SBTRKT’s self-titled album is playful yet gritty. Apols for getting all Cher Lloyd on yer ass but, as she would say, it’s got bare swagga. SERIOUSLY, this record is fucking good, flawless, almost, and hard to stop listening to. What SBTRKT has done is take all the best elements of the past two decades worth of dance sub-genres and used these ingredients to make a 11-course popping candy meal of an electro album."

Praise indeed. There's now a video for a track from it, too, and an official one. It's for 'Wildfire' and can be viewed below:

Oh, and it features Little Dragon, in case you weren't aware.
