Unveiling Notes: The Presets Interview

Australian duo The Presets is solely in the business of making uncompromising bangers that underscore the sinister side of having fun. The band has played to sweat-soaked youths in dark rooms all around the world but for a set who have little to say on stage, they definitely parry with the best of them off. Most of the time when someone puts their foot in their mouth, it's because of their inner monologue coming out, or because they merely misspoke. Case in point: during this interview it was implied that the Presets music is just a limp-dick imitation of what's come before it - all because a misused connotation of "derivative," used to depict music that is hardly an imitation at all. This is why the interview makes a beguiling shift in tone about halfway through. This is why you don't cross The Presets. ‹read more›
