An album very much driven by supernatural forces – spectral influence moving through machine form to summon grandeur and abjection both.

Whilst Bourne’s work with Teeth Of The Sea might give dystopian signposts to some, the soundscapes and explorations here – channelling techno, industrial, post-punk, minimalism and beyond – function to sculpt one singular vision.

Recorded and mixed by Bourne himself and mastered by Amir Shoat (Dean Blunt, Klein, John T.Gast) it’s an audial realm as redolent of the disorientating world of a Harlan Ellison short story as bathing in the relentless strobe light of a 3AM dancefloor epiphany.

Perhaps Bruise Blood’s vibrant, excoriating debut is the sound of humanity moving with slow inevitability towards darker times, alchemically transmuted into cinematic serendipity and beauty. Perhaps it’s merely the inspired work of one man, driven by forces he doesn’t entirely understand. Perhaps only the parrot - the spirit animal still standing sentinel as we embark on an uncertain new aeon – really knows.
