Piecing together industrial hip hop, hardcore and noise, Behind You make music that will have you losing control of your breath.

The local electronic punks mix together a mutual love for Flying Lotus, MF DOOM and Death Grips, resulting in a frenetic, brutal sound that’s completely their own. Inspired by the depravity and narcissism he finds within himself, lyricist Frank Fisher screams “I want to escape how it sounds” short-winded. The rhythm of second single ‘Head Count’ is a rapid crash of beats, but its lyrical haze will have you listening again on the off chance you’ll catch a phrase you didn’t get the first time.

Together with producer Joseph Maxwell, a fan of Brian Eno, the two use an electronic performance rig with droning guitar lines and manic rap vocals to grind audiences into a fine paste. With two singles in the bank, Behind You promise a third and an EP drop later in the year. For now they’re on a short performance hiatus overseas.
