Four years after the release of their second album 'Generation', UK electronic act Audio Bullys return with 'Higher Than The Eiffel'. In contrast to the slower pace of 'Generation', duo Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale have produced a record bursting with the kind of energy that made their 2003 breakthrough 'Ego War' such a hit on the club scene. Rave anthems injected with the energy of house and breaks are layered with heavy guitar sounds, as heard on single 'Only Man' and 'Kiss The Sky'.

Audio Bullys return with their new album 'Higher Than The Eiffel' which follows a four year gap since the pair's second album, 'Generation' and sees Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale recapture the energy and dancefloor instincts that made Audio Bullys one of the most successful UK dance acts of the previous decade. Mixing their love of house and breaks with an expansive cast list of musical collaborators, switching across dance's myriad genres and throwing away the rule book has led Audio Bullys to make their finest record to date, a worthy successor to breakthrough debut 'Ego War' and follow up 'Generation', which spawned the massive worldwide hit, 'Shot You Down'.

Audio Bullys make no secret of the fact that the long gap between 'Generation' and 'Higher Than The Eiffel' was in part down to that massive success. Having lost their way following the release of 'Generation', 'Higher Than The Eiffel' sees the pair return to top form after a few false starts. Recorded in a six month burst through 2009 and made with the express intent of creating an album for their mates rather than a record company, to be 'respected by the people that you want to respect you' as Si puts it, the fourteen tracks range from the full on club stomp of lead single, 'Only Man' and rave anthemics of recent free download 'Kiss The Sky', to the psychedelic come down of 'Daisy Chains', the Chic guitar disco of 'Dynamite' and the ska stylings of 'Goodbye'. The bangers are still here but this is a complete album, a journey through various dance musics, all held together by Si's conversational lyrics and the little production twists and turns that are the hallmark of Audio Bullys sound.

• Clash - "Drawing on a cast of helpers, most notably Madness' Suggs and Mike Barson, the album boasts their usual eclectic mash of styles, all held together under the Audio Bullys flag."
