Five years after their blistering debut full-length album in 2011, the trio of Matt Calvert, Adam Betts, and Tom Rogerson return with
Silent Earthling. The ruthless synth arpeggiators, effect-laden guitars, and thunderous drums are still very much part of their mind-melting and uncompromising experimental noise/math-rock sound. The band worked with Brian Eno and Karl Hyde (Underworld) while writing of this record, utilizing Eno's "Oblique Strategies" to push the band out of their comfort zone. ~ Simon Spreyer
