Pro Style is the follow-up to Pete Swanson’s remarkable 2011 LP Man With Potential.

On that record, the erstwhile Yellow Swan bolted techno tropes onto his trademark digital squall. The three-track Pro Style continues Swanson’s adventures in 4/4: the noise elements are as scabrous as ever, but the programming is more orderly, the mood more settled, the drums more insistent. The title track is sprung from the same furious seed as Vatican Shadow’s throttled machine music, whereas flip ‘Do You Like Students?’ sounds, well, borderline serene. Oh, and in case you hadn’t noticed: best cover art of the year?

Pro Style is due on Type on October 8.
