Bleep

Lorn has always had a distinctive way with form and texture, from 2010's 'Nothing Else' on Brainfeeder to 'Ask The Dust' on Ninja Tune last year. On this new EP for Ninja tune he makes beats clatter and crackle with menace and powerful dark intent. Field recordings scrape up against guitars and and crumbling synthesizers, the drops are cavernous, radiating doom and drama. Throughout it sounds like noises are being pulled apart, each sound stretched, bent and twisted to the limit. That slightly unbalanced aesthetic adds to the majesty. 'Debris' is a work of sound architecture that is all the more incredible for sounding like it could all implode at any second. A masterful record of darkness and tension that occupies a haunting, hard-edged space all its own.

Purchases from Bleep includes two exclusive bonus tracks, 'Karma' and 'Italics'.
