Andrew Hung Deliverance

Frozen dreams melt from falling stars on Deliverance, the ecstatic new album from Andrew Hung.Andrew Hung is an artist known for his collaborations (Fuck Buttons, Beth Orton), film soundtracks (The Greasy Strangler, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn) and his own music (Realisationship, Devastations).Hung's third album Deliverance follows the critically-acclaimed Devastations. Deliverance is the aftermath of celestial collisions, where life sparks and shadows roam. His deeply emotive voice is cocooned by whirlpools of soaring electronics, distorted guitars and driving rhythms sounding like the last bastion of hope crying through waves of technicolour noise. Deliverance sees Hung pushing what has been an overarching facet in all his music to the fore: hope. Rhythm, melody, voice and noise all serve to amplify hope like a lighthouse at the edge of an ocean. This is Hung's most sublime creation to date; a colossal statement given the extent of his past iconic work.
