On \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWay Through Vulnerability\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e new members Reay, Saunders and Ugarteburu channel the projects previous outings on Alter and Night School by conveying the same firm grounding in rhythm, though this time via Flamenco time signatures and eerie, repetitive clapping. At times sounding indebted to the 'tribal ambient' of decades gone by, at times sounding fresh in their approach (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHere is the Proof\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is of note) the trio manage to export motifs from Italian avant-garde circles, UK industrial and dare we say post-rock all at the same time. The sound design on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDerelict Intentions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e makes heavy use of background ambience and bleak, world-weary minimalism to lull us into a false sense of calm before harsh and unexpected blurts of noise break the equilibrium. In doing so they swiftly side-step any preconceptions of 'easy listening' and opt instead to drag us deeper down into their own dark waters. At times we almost seem to delve into lost theatre soundtrack territory; fragmented neo-classical elements dance with punchy drum machines (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCara En La Foto Pt II\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and things draw to a close with the end credit worthy swansong of the album's title track. The group repeatedly utilise Basque country language, Hungariandialect and ancient Russian to lend their compositions a cross-cultural underpinning and eschew any clear geographic origin, a decision which all but adds to the perplexities of their unique brand of electro-acoustic purgatory\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322902491513,"sku":null,"price":11.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/liberez-way-through-vulnerability-south-records-ltd_742628fe-e488-4dae-a8d3-cfcd71595be2.jpg?v=1787903881","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/liberez-way-through-vulnerability","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
