Man Without Country are a duo from Cardiff, Wales, who “fuse electronic precision with a timeless love for melodies”. Their debut record came out in 2012 and they’re currently gearing up for the release of their second, Maximum Empty, out January 19.
The critics say: “This monumentally huge song sounds, variously, like The Knife on ecstasy, Hurts on downers, ‘Disco’-era Pet Shop Boys or even the best song Trevor Horn never produced for Dollar” CMU

The video for today’s premiere, “Laws of Motion”,is definitely the strangest we’ve seen so far in 2015. Directed by Natalie Stuyk (whose glowing and growing portfolio includes with How to Dress Well, Crystal Fighters, Basement Jaxx), it’s a perfect visualisation of what would happen if your conscience was put on a floppy disc and inserted into the motherboard. The track also features Morgan Kibby from White Sea and M83.
