London-based Moody Good, aka Eddie Jefferys, makes the sort of textured, sometimes terrifying, sometimes lush dance music that you'd expect someone like Björk might enjoy. Which is handy because she was quite the fan of his previous incarnation as one half of 16Bit, who she roped in to work on two songs on her last album, Biophilia (they were responsible for the insane, drum'n'bass-influenced breakdown at the end of Crystalline). Having split in 2011, Jefferys started working on his own music, recently signing to Chase & Status' MTA Records. The first single to emerge from his forthcoming debut album – which features collaborations with the likes of Yadi, Knytro and Big Narstie – is the imposing Grumbles n Sparkles, premiered here. Merging delicately plucked harps with itchy beats and weird synths that sound like vacuum cleaners stuck on suction mode, it utilizes the Zebra Katz-esque drawl of Dublin rapper Rejjie Snow and newcomer Joshua Idehen to mesmerising effect.



Moody Good's debut album will be out in January 2014.
