Beats, organ, bass all come alive topped off by some very intelligent wordplay.

As an unplanned result of DJ duo/remix/production team of electro-punk band Le Tigre's JD Samson and Johanna Fateman and Samson's side project with Emily Roysdon, Michael O'Neill, and Ginger Brooks Takahashi called 'Hirsute' merging, MEN became the band's live structure as it is today: two guitars, programmed drums, synth and vocals. The Brooklyn-based band and art/performance collective's songs are poppy, dancey, punk, psychedelic jams - such as debut single “Credit Card Babies” on Trouble Records, and second single “Off Our Backs” on IAMSOUND. http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/8839/1/jd-samsons-men The Le Tigre member embarks on her new project for more disjointed synthy party jams.

He lives in Manchester and he's a one-man band but this time, we don't talk about rock & roll! The debut album "Make List, Do Something" sounds as catchy as experimental and as elecronica as folk... you got it?
