The latest musical artist trying the mystery route is the oddly named just a number 05272011. Whether that’s a band name or a cryptic date-based message is up for debate but there’s no doubting the intrigue is high after the above The Knife-esque electro tune ‘He Didn’t Want A Love Song’ was picked up by blogs in the last few weeks. So far we know they are from The Isle Of Man (or are claiming to be) and there’s this Twitter account. I look forward to further developments.
