Index, the electronic-leaning hardcore punk outfit assembled by former Control Top members Alan Creedon and Alex Lichtenauer, released their debut LP Vis Inertiae this past September. The album was tracked with Arthur Rizk, a sought-after producer whose credits span the heavy spectrum—from Prurient to Power Trip—at Show Me The Body’s Corpus studio. And now the band is sharing an additional track born from those sessions, the punchy cut “Heartbeat Glitch.”
“I think the first thing Arthur told us was, ‘We’ve got to emphasize the ’90s breakbeat Aphex Twin vibe in your band,'” Creedon reflects on the collaboration with Rizk during the recording. “And we did. It isn’t always overt, but there are extra hi-hat glitches and hybrid drum setups layered in there. That’s what we wanted—to position this hardcore act with one foot in electronic music.”
