Mysterious, melodic and sometimes ominous, Iceland's Bang Gang is back after a seven-year hiatus. Frontman Bardi Johannsson paints a cinematic picture via slinky grooves and with the help of guests, including Keren Ann and Helen Marnie of Ladytron. BloodGroup helps out on vocals on Today's Top Tune, "The Sin Is Near," from their album The Wolves Are Whispering.
