Forging a deep new sound, this Bristol outfit’s cohesive vehemence and vigour has produced something lithe, fleet-footed and constantly mutating.

SCALPING’s world-creation on Void is engaging and welcoming while being both ecstatic and unnerving. What gives this record cohesion is its ability to freely blend sounds and be bold while maintaining its heart as a rhythmic electronic record that’s audibly bursting to be let loose on a live audience.

Overall, Void is an accomplished work, a modernist genre splice that thrives in everything it attempts. Music from the in-between, this is the perfect soundtrack for existing in a very bleak world.

Finding out that Scalping was an industrial rock/electronic group, I was really hoping for something amazing. However it just didn't stick with me that much on the first listen, outside of the closer track. This is definitely something that I'll have to revisit sometime soon, because I feel like it will grow on me a lot more than it did when I was listening to it on the drive home.
