Upon Gardiner’s addition, a considerably more expansive sound has emerged, bringing the band’s now recognised output of what the Quietus once referred to as ‘lurching noise-rock’ to new exciting heights, all the while set against an equally more confident and expansive dynamic, reinforced by the chemistry of Graham Hebson and Jon Wood, who remain tighter than ever on drums and guitar respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir brand new album \u003cem\u003eDeep Living\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded and mixed by long- time collaborator and prolific music engineer Wayne Adams (Petbrick\/Big Lad) and mastered by Sam Grant (Pigsx7\/Rubber Oh), sees the group firing on all cylinders and kicking the door open with new business to set!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with taking over on vocal duties, Barney has taken the helm of sole lyric writer - a role he’s eagerly grabbed with both hands, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and trauma as an initial canvas to explore other themes and emotions, so as to reflect a broader universal state of mind, rather than an inner monologue or self-referential journey. Subsequently, the album’s overall lyrical arc is of navigating one’s path from fear and unknowing towards light and comfort, revealing the complexities of life in both it’s darkness and it’s beauty, whilst also separately touching upon historical events, pastime folk-lore, ancient prophecies and political unrest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Human Worth","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue","offer_id":51655382073675,"sku":"R1058-2772","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Blue \/ Signed Print","offer_id":51655565738315,"sku":"R1058-9715","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/LowerSlaughter-DeepLiving-HW45-Packshot.jpg?v=1744886500"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/lower-slaughter.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
