about

Bruges offer up 7 new tracks on their latest record, A Thread of Light. The band find themselves harnessing the power of repetition to their advantage building a tension throughout the listen that rarely lets up. At times that tension comes to lush breath in the song "Translucent" as the band builds to a dream-like soundscape. This catching of breath only lasts a moment as the track "Not Here" follows with a bludgeoning racket of sludgy noise rock. This balance of rhythmic tension is a constant throughout the record which comes to a harrowing halt at the end, where Bruges find the ultimate distillation of their sound in "A Range of Light".

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580

Rarely an album title evokes that perfectly what’s inside … on a solidly bass base, mid-tempo post-punk songs progressing like nothing could stop them. Somehow, Berlin atmosphere transpires. JJPOP13
