Amicus

Amicus is an industrial requiem for a world turned upside down. Revbjelde's 3rd long player originally released in 2022 on CD, has been remixed, remastered and resequenced for vinyl with new tracks and new artwork. Recorded in England and New Zealand between 2020 and 2022, the new vinyl edition features 11 tracks of brittle electronic beats, cavernous synths and scorched acoustic instrumentation. Amicus moves on from the motorik psych-folk of previous albums (Hooha Hubbub and Revbjelde) towards a raw, emotive soundscape of abstraction filled with percussive dubs, broken machinery and metallic drones. Peter Hope (Richard H Kirk / Wrong Revolution / The Box) contributes suitably caustic vocals on 3 tracks with revised artwork and photography by Alan's dear friend Jon Kemp RIP, respectfully adapted by Luke Drozd (Bloxham Tapes).
