‘Bleak Technique’ is an ace track from the Leeds-based Department M. It manages to mix electronica with indie pop, creating a very catchy and musically impressive song.

It starts with a psychedelic feel which builds up quite an atmosphere before the other instruments come in. The vocals are joined by a very heavy and fitting bass line which remains prominent throughout the whole song which works very well. A very distinct style seems to come from this band which includes pitch bends, funky basslines, and a range of different vocals. “They just can’t get enough of that bleak technique” the frontman sings, a line which sticks in your head, and what the song ends on.

If you like electronic vibes and impressive instrumentation, you should check out Department M. You can listen to their music on Soundcloud or follow them on Twitter.
