{"product_id":"new-horizon","title":"New Horizon","description":"\u003cp\u003eImpresario bone grinder, Justin K Broadrick, has prepared a new album for release on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe label as JK Flesh. Broadrick has resolutely inhabited some dark and punishing corners of the musical landscape in his three decades of music production. Whether as a songwriter, guitarist, drummer, label head, studio producer or electronic alchemist, Broadrick has defined the sublime overlap of misanthropy, noise and arson-spirited audio. Making his initial marks with grindcore and industrial bands Godflesh and Napalm Death beginning in the late 80s, Broadrick’s musical career has arched from blast-beats to head bobbing hypnosis. With a slew of recent releases from his JK Flesh moniker for EDLX, Hospital Productions, Downwards, Pi Electronics and on AnD’s Inner Surface, Broadrick has increasingly taken low-fi cerebral sound exploration into techno’s polluted ozone layer; drifting amongst violent collisions of rusty space junk and taking aim at the outmoded species below. JK Flesh’s 8-track double disk album for Electric Deluxe continues his assault on the failings and folly of humanity with a bludgeoning tour of dub influenced techno. A study in resolution, timber and distortion, the album’s tracks are diverse in mood and groove, but are united by the dark, porous and undulating surface texture of rippling analog treatment. Contemplation of humanity’s chances for extinction or evolution provided Broadrick with the mental scaffolding upon which the album’s inky and caustic eruptions precipitate. Titles like \u003ci\u003eDifferent Species\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSuper Human\u003c\/i\u003e on the album’s A-side betray his interest in futurist’s trans-humanist musings, while thumping garage baseline and searing interplanetary emergency sirens anchor the tracks in Broadrick’s mastery of noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album is generally packed with full-form bass, percussion and machine sounds. Though tracks like the B-side’s \u003ci\u003eExternal Transmission\u003c\/i\u003e juxtapose rubbery and wiry timbers, like the best of acid, over the low-end’s boiling black cauldron. \u003ci\u003eEarlier Forms of Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMacromolecules\u003c\/i\u003e take morose side-long glances at the dance floor, but primarily develop elegantly grime-filled grooves under the constricting spacial canopies of hyper-detailed delay and reverb. Surface detail and dusty timbers rake the listener’s ear across the minimal composition of \u003ci\u003eThe Next Stage\u003c\/i\u003e. The albums closing track, \u003ci\u003eHomo Sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e, drops you into the hopelessly gigantic hull of ship, echoing with sonar, heavy machinery and dulled low-frequencies as your iron tomb cuts across the dead oceans of our planet, or, as Broadrick has spent his musical pursuit, in search of a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electric Deluxe","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50454798664011,"sku":"1040922","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/35cb325c-7468-4674-a19a-01bbca435c93_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727186308","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/new-horizon","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
