Bitumen - Cleareye Shining - VINYL LP

About this product
Cleareye Shining is the much anticipated sophomore album from Melbourne industrial postpunk outfit Bitumen. This new album sees the four-piece building on the primitive industrial post-punk of their 2018 debut LP Discipline Reaction (Vacant Valley), broadening their sound further into electronic and synth-based, gothic pop realms. Cutting guitars and stabbing bass remain - as does the dynamic intensity of Discipline Reaction - but now fused with new influences to create an album of diverse, direct and intricately-wrought songs. Guitars, synths, samples, and electronic drums coalesce with the distinct and incendiary vocals of extraordinary frontwoman Kate Binning, whose lyrics weave stories set across ancient times, the modern world and futurist dystopian possibilities. Sometimes romantic, melancholy or full of rage. Known for their intense live performances, Bitumen have played alongside the likes of Lydia Lunch, Peter Murphy, The Chameleons and Drab Majesty among many others. While performing was off the agenda throughout 2020, the band leaned into producing a finely-detailed studio album, experimenting more heavily with electronic instrumentation, layered vocals, and house and breakbeat-inspired percussion. Cutting guitars and stabbing bass remain - as does the dynamic intensity of Discipline Reaction - but now fused with a new palette to create an album of diverse, direct and intricately-wrought songs. The resulting album evokes nostalgia, all the while carving something entirely new and singularly exciting. It's a stone-cold killer record. Inch??With Cleareye Shining Bitumen have created a true work of art that is entirely their own. It furthers the canons of industrial, post-punk & electronica into bold new territory both beautifully refined and exhilaratingly unnerving.Inch 4ZZZfm

They were one of those bands that were a prequel to what the future was becoming. Feminism, human rights, animal rights, environmental protection, gender issues... Spitboy was singing about these issues 30 fucking years ago. I'm so grateful to have witnessed it.-Billie Joe ArmstrongInchSpitboy are one of the most important punk bands to have ever existed. To me, an angry 20-year-old in London, discovering them felt like the first time I truly identified with a band's politics and agenda. One of my all-time favourite albums (then and now) was Penis Envy by Crass. No lyrics had ever touched me the way this album had-until Spitboy entered my life. My people. My radical feminists. My punk scene. Where I have lived and belonged for over 30 years.Inch -Vique Simba1. Seriously 02 082. Dysfunction 01 443. Motivated By Fear 02 484. Interdependency 03 395.

Mercyland, led by David Barbe (Bob Mould's Sugar), was a foundational post-punk trio from Athens, Georgia. Formed in 1985 and dissolved by 1991, the band left behind a body of work that never saw a wide . The band was nourished by a steady diet of the Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime, Husker Du's Metal Circus, Meat Puppets 2, Dinosaur Jr's Yr Living All Over Me, Volcano Suns, and Mission of Burma. InchMercylandInch unveils eleven tracks recorded from 1985-1987 that are raw, urgent, and deeply tied to the American underground. Produced and curated by Barbe, the collection draws from early 8-track recordings, studio demos and live performances. This is a necessary historical document of the earliest material of the criminally unknown band, which captures the spirit of a band ahead of it's time. Fully remixed and pressed on vinyl for the first time. Album Tracks 1. Amerigod 2. Black on Black on Black 3. Ciderhead 4. Fall of the City 5. Radio Thieves 6. Vomit Clown 7. City of Embers 8. Western Guns 9. Imperial Vision 10. Can't Slow Down to Think 11. Nightfall
