Black Metal

Dean Blunt

A collage of jangle-pop, dub, and noise that feels like eavesdropping on a late-night confession. Cold, detached, and brilliantly elusive.

November 3, 2014 · Rough Trade

A cold, detached exploration of urban loneliness that hides deep vulnerability behind a mask of irony.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring transition from the breezy jangle of '100' into the abrasive, industrial thud of 'Heavy'.
The way 'Forever' dissolves into a thirteen-minute hypnotic loop of saxophone and static that tests the listener's patience.
Joanne Robertson's ethereal, fragile harmonies cutting through the thick, deadpan baritone on 'Molly & Aquafina'.
