Human Beat - Human Beat - VINYL LP

Drawn to the megaliths, ruins and ancient sites mapped out along the British and European mainland's geographical and psychic landscapes, the folklore and apocrypha forever resurfacing as portals from a rational world, Triptych is a meditation forged from traces and residues, and an hallucinatory recollection of artists who have tapped into that enduring otherworldliness embedded within us all.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . Human Impact is Chris Spencer (Unsane, UXO), Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), Chris Pravdica (Swans, Xiu Xiu), and Phil Puleo (Cop Shoot Cop, Swans). The band's first recordings are a dark mirror held up to the band s collective pre-history. It's sound is cinematic post-industrial filth rock, a dozen run down subway stops away from recognizable civilization, as futuristic as it is grounded in it's sordid heritage. The result is a potent, hard-boiled distillation of this sonic ethos.
