Rituale Del Sonno

Murky Bristolian dub meets post-punk on HLM38’s Rituale Del Sonno, channelling This Heat, On-U Sound, The Pop Group and Kevin Martin.

Bristol’s Plaque and Grenoble’s Notte Brigante join forces for HLM38’s second full-length release and first album on vinyl, serving up a hard-boiled, sleazy strain of dub noir.

Twelve nervous numbers slink through ill-lit alleys and sordid creep joints. Taut interludes, whistling westerns and garbled radio messages drift through dense smoke and rusted microphones.
