Shackleton

Soundboys Suicide Note

Order now!

• 1 the rope tightens (with tenfold vengeance)
• 2 but the branch is weak
• 3 in the void
• 4 shortwave

Shackleton continues to push the musical envelope, reaching beyond the realms of dubstep into some dark fissure of future dread history. Drawing from a familiar palette of beats and bass, ‘The Rope Tightens…’ scatters rambling paranoiac poetry across a rushing moonscape soundstage, reprised in the brooding storm of ‘…But The Branch Is Weak’. ‘In the Void’ adds dashes of ethnic strings to colour the darkness slightly, and ‘Shortwave’ finishes up with a rolling barrage of percussion, subs and icy gusts.
