Belief by Angular
Following on from January’s sprawling, epic double album 'No Love', an excursion through jungle, rave, grime and contemporary techno as well as emotive ambient pieces, and May’s flat stick 'Grim', a breakneck headrush of relentless speed techno, donk, garage and trance as viewed through a modern milieu, Angular will release the culmination of 2014’s album trilogy, 'Belief' on 1 September. Spanning the club-oriented sounds of garage, the darker territory of expansive techno, and various fingerprints of industrial, deep house, UK funky, trap and drum n bass, and at 9 tracks and 40 minutes in length, 'Belief' is perhaps as concise and functional as anything in the Angular catalogue thus far.
Where 'No Love' invoked isolated Russian slums during blizzards, grisly Australian forests at night, and the palpable tension of Essex rave tents in grassy fields at 3am, and 'Grim' looked towards violent estates and enclaves of Northern England where junkies, bodybuilders and enforcers wired on speed, smack and stegs came to blows over sketchy deals, 'Belief' lies in bleak industrial towns in the Midlands and Northwest where fumes from the local steelworks and industrial factories envelop a desperation to somehow escape beyond the confines of dead end jobs or the perpetual cycle of unemployment and day-to-day struggle to make ends meet.
