New music: Egyptian Hip Hop – SYH

Reading on mobile? Listen here In January 2010 Manchester four-piece Egyptian Hip Hop received the coveted honour of being one of the 10 bands included in our epoch-defining buzz chart , which aimed to track the relative successes of that year's biggest things. Since then the band have seemingly gone into hiding, their last release being the excellent Hudson Mohawke-produced Some Reptiles Grew Wings EP. With little fanfare – which you sense is how they like it – they've just announced details of their new album, Good Don't Sleep, which is out via R&S Records in October and features the excellent SYH. As with the majority of their best songs, SYH sounds like a pop song being held under water – all murky basslines and swampy synth pulses – which makes the sudden burst of a surprisingly straightforward chorus much more rewarding. • SYH is available to buy right now.
