Strict Face's Ode to the Meatheads arrives on 3 July with one of the week's best mission statements: brainless after the office, but make it braindance. The Adelaide/Kaurna producer has announced Age of Burnout, due 7 August via NLV Records, and the lead single sounds like a track built from commuter frustration, gym-bro energy and modular-synth overload. Best Fit notes reference points including Boys Noize, Errorsmith, Benny Benassi, Timedance, Fever AM, kuduro, batida and the British bass continuum, which is basically a club nerd's stress dream with better kicks. The fun is that the track does not seem embarrassed by its meathead premise. It asks what peak-time dance music might sound like if burnout, digital overload and office-brain collapse were turned into a functional weapon for the floor.
