Founded in London in 2011 around Grammy-winning producer Godrich, journeyman drummer Waronker and Goldsmiths College alum Bettinson’s  mutual love of Afrobeat, electronic and dance music, visual art, and tequila, Ultraísta wasted no time creating 10 inspired tracks of exquisitely crafted electronic kraut-pop for this phenomenal first outing.

Favoring mantras over traditional choruses and distilling their compositions to the barest essentials, the band possesses the kind  of masterful control over the pure anatomy of a pop song that only comes from having played a significant role in redefining the form in the 21st century.

Evidence of the above has recently leaked in the form of the tracks “Bad Insect,” “Smalltalk” and “Static Light,” which can be heard and seen variously at http://www.ultraista.comhttp://www.youtube.com/user/UltraistaTVhttp://soundcloud.com/ultra1sta/and www.facebook.com/Ultraista/, among other places.
