MP3: Traktor - Where water goes

Traktor are one of the proud few Swedish noiserock bands left carrying the torch in 2010 and "Where water goes" is their new single, the first from their forthcoming album due out this fall (via I Made This, I believe). As is so often par for the course, expect lots of subtely discordant melodies, sharp rhythmic turns, shouted vocals and, in Traktor's particular instance, a heavy reliance on single-note guitar lines. When they do break out the chords, it's well-employed for emphasis; otherwise the track is surprisingly spacious. It's that level of intricacy and attention to detail that makes this a decent listen, otherwise it's kind of lacking in dynamics and is most certainly way too long. Not sure the video adds much either, but it's worth a gander.
