Album Review: Dumb Flesh – Blanck Mass

Blanck Mass

Dumb Flesh

[Sacred Bones]

Sensory neuropathy – the equivalent of blindness for the sense of touch – is so rare a phenomenon as to render it almost unimaginable. Dumb Flesh is, perhaps, a coming to terms with how that lived experience might be. Here, Fuck Buttons’ Benjamin John Power grabs instinctually at broken wires and bent circuits with bare hands to create collages of neural white noise, some analgesic oblivion. Music to lose your synapses to.

Words: Daniel Gray
