"Listening to Ship Sket feels like being dragged to hell and back." - DAZED You cannot separate pleasure from pain. Grotesque drums hiss and boom inside drill's stricture, voices utter shattered phrases to each other in a darkening chain of whispers, synthetic violins mourn their last and rush towards singularity. Drawing upon the 'self indulgent, purple prose' of Angela Carter, the staggering works of composers Villa Lobos and Xennakis, the fissure between pagan mysticism of England past and its feckless, soul consuming present; 'England as a Succubus' is a lustful spirit that writhes and vibrates against a backdrop of lurid sonic pressure.
