Peckham's Sweat have been racking up a bunch of acclaim for packed, perspiration-driven live shows as much as their incredible sounding music.
New track "PLW VIP" is another beautiful cut that Tony Wilson would have no doubt proclaimed as the Future of Music as he was into doing quite a lot (RIP).
It's funky as hell and epic in length at six minutes but manages to squeeze in nods to the last thirty years of music. We like ambition in music.
Sweat play London's Moth Club on 9 September.
