Today’s Daily Download is a new track from S.C.U.M., the youthful London troupe who behave – endearingly, it must be said – as if 1981 never ended.

In keeping with the aesthetics of the post-punk and industrial era they hold so dear, S.C.U.M. last year kicked off Signals, a series of site-specific tracks each recorded in, and named after, a particular European city. Obviously Milton Keynes and Bradford didn’t cut the mustard, so the band headed instead to ‘Berlin’ and then ‘Warsaw’.

Today they unveil ‘Paris’, which was recorded on October 30 2009 at Basement Studios, 38 Rue de Rochechouart, and is every bit as austere as you’d expect, though undoubtedly more melodic, even romantic, than its predecessors. You can check out the video by Ivana Bobic below, and if you like, go ahead and download ‘Paris’ as a hard-drive-squeezingly high quality 45MB WAV file (ideal if you’re required to DJ at a funeral any time soon).
