about

5 tracks torn from a stained industrial fabric , this new offering is an unrelenting foray into abjection and the pleasure it can evoke.

Like the provocations of a previous age grew sentient and withdrew into introspection ‘blank cheque’ reeks of forgotten transgressions, echoing the promise of some lost liberation.

This time around the chords are even colder, the guitars are harsher and the lyrics offer even less solace from the world’s brutalities.

Economic unlivability permeate “blank cheque’s” lyrics, the mundane grind of city life is put on display but this voice behind the noise cant help but suggest a kind of romance, on tracks like ‘coat check’ the way it playfully coaxes you into its dance is palpable.

There is still a sick pleasure in the sound, stop gap has managed to twist grim brutality into a work that infects the mind and entices you towards obsession.
