It would be a shame for Tom Vek to be consumed and spat out like a liquorice jellybean by the hype-machine that is inevitably about to engulf him. Vek has a sound that could be said to grab at the coat tails of the 'new-Eurowave' revival alongside the likes of Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand or perhaps even reveal a certain compliance to musical trends. However, audiophile fairy-floss aside, Vek is a one man band with genuine class, a mind for impeccably programmed electronics, an ear for a funky bass-lines, an LCD Soundsystem -esq heartbeat and a head full of synth-pop melodies and slacker lyrics that echo either a young Stephen Malkmus or an older Beck.

WE ARE SOUND is an incredible home-studio debut for this young Londoner.
