Bleep

Yorkshire noise-mongers Broken Bone deliver a crushing full-length debut for Aperture. Their sound, not quite suited to any one style, incorporates elements from noise, industrial, techno and experimental improv. Whether it’s the creeping half-step of ‘Blood On Your Hands’ or the pulsating minimalism of ‘Building 6’, the brutal industrial tech of ‘Coercion’ or the twisted din of ‘Coma’, listeners will quickly lose track of genres. The most telling titles would have to be ‘Raw’ and ‘Catharsis’, which respectively sum up the artists’ sonic philosophy, and possibly the purpose of this purgative and powerful release.
