"Constant Noise" follows the band's incendiary debutalbum 'NAILS' which earned widespread acclaim andappeared in album of the year lists inc. Louder ThanWar (#1), BBC 6Music, NME, The Quietus, The LineOf Best Fit and more."We're still angry" says vocalist Kingsley Hall, "justangry in a different way to before. If the previousrecord was black and white, we wanted this to betechnicolour."The first taste of this new musical direction came inthe form of "Land Of The Tyrants", which saw theband delving into bass-heavy, dance inflectedrhythms and subtle industrial undercurrents. Followup single 'Relentless' featured The Libertines' PeterDoherty and saw the band move further into ambientelectronic atmospherics.Doherty is just one of the collaborators on the newrecord, Zera Tønin, the singer of queerpop-electro duoArch Femmesis, Neil Cooper of Therapy?, andMiddlesborough rapper Shakk all make cameos. Inaddition to the guest musicians, the album also featuresproduction from James Welsh (Phantasy Sound), andJames Adrian Brown (ex-Pulled Apart ByHorses)who helped to guide the new direction. Theresult is an album that gleans as much from the likes ofUnderworld and Leftfield as it does the likes of TheStreets or Beastie Boys in their pomp, or even the 90s /early 00s Indie Sleaze-era.Orange vinyl comes with full album download incl. twotracks not on vinyl ('Continual' and 'The Brambles')
