Index – “Heartbeat Glitch”

Index, the electronic-inflected hardcore punk band made up of ex-Control Top members Alan Creedon and Alex Lichtenauer, just released their debut album Vis Inertiae in September. They recorded the LP with Arthur Rizk, the in-demand producer for music on the heavy spectrum from Prurient and Power Trip, at Show Me The Body's Corpus studio. And now we're getting one more track from those sessions, the bashed-out "Heartbeat Glitch.""I think the first thing Arthur said to us was, 'We've got to accent the '90s breakbeat Aphex Twin vibe of your band,'" Creedon says of the recording process with Rizk. "And we did. It's not obvious at all times, but there are extra little hi-hat glitches and hybrid kits happening with weird layering. That's something that we really wanted to be, this hardcore band with one foot in electronic music."Listen to "Heartbeat Glitch" below.Natalie Piserchio
