Bleep

Hyperdub continue to populate their Flatlines sublabel with a mercurial audio essay from philosopher and Urbanomic director Robin Mackay. By The North Sea is a treatise on time and erosion, where soft voices speak amidst the chop and churn of waves and wind as they wander through the crumbling seaside village of Dunwich, echoing Mackay’s friend Mark Fisher’s Flatlines essay On Vanishing Land with Justin Barton. As the rumble of rain rips through creaking wood, By The North Sea evolves into ominous soundscapes of string plucks and groans, unsettling bass, and curious synthetic melodies.
