Before saying anything else, I must warn you - the song below is perilously addictive. Ever since I stumbled upon the London-based HAUS, I haven't stopped abusing the replay button. I mean it was yesterday, but the song is only 3 minutes so...do the math! Actually math it is the reason why ended up on their Soundcloud page. Browsing through some math-rock tags, I found myself on the page of "a cheeky 6 piece who fully intend on pulling their trousers down and cuddling you with their music" and I just had to give them a shot!

"Token" has this very slight This Town Needs Guns mathy vibe, which is a big music turn on for me. Really upbeat, on the spot and well-layered instrumental. The vocals are absolutely flawless and are definitely the finishing move in the combo of HAUS. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this track just couldn't be any better. There's a bright future ahead of those guys!
