This is what you need to know: CREEP are a Brooklyn-based band, made up of Lauren Dillard & Lauren Flax. They get together on Wednesday nights and make music in a damp basement room, while Blue Velvet plays on an old VHS in the corner. They told me so themselves.

Ok, no they didn’t. But that’s what comes to mind when I listen to their music. It moves me and scares me.

Their first single, Days, featured the briliant Romy from the xx and had Warren Fischer (of Fischerspooner) directing the video. Soon after came You, featuring Nina Sky on vocals, establishing these guys as a band to keep an eye on. A lot of mystery surrounding the band – not much is known about them, but I think they prefer it that way. Their music has often been referred to as Witch House -  dark, emotive, moody and beat-heavy with traces of dubstep sprinkled throughout.

Now, we have the arrival of a 3rd single. It’s called Animals and features Holly Miranda on vocals. Do they deliver? Yes. Big time. The video is fantastic as well. Seriously you guys, this is what everyone has always wanted from a Massive Attack album, but never got.

Also, check out the first two singles below. Big things for these guys in 2012.
