Ship Sket - England as a Succubus EP
ID008
Release date: 07-06-24
"Listening to Ship Sket feels like being dragged to hell and back." - DAZED
"Ship Sket grapples with a frenetic and maximalist style that subverts and perverts expectations of UK bass music with equal measure." - Mixmag
You cannot separate pleasure from pain. Grotesque drums hiss and boom inside drill’s stricture, voices utter shattered phrases to each other in a darkening chain of whispers, synthetic violins mourn their last and rush towards singularity. Drawing upon the ‘self indulgent, purple prose’ of Angela Carter, the staggering works of composers Villa Lobos and Xennakis, the fissure between pagan mysticism of England past and its feckless, soul consuming present; ‘England as a Succubus’ is a lustful spirit that writhes and vibrates against a backdrop of lurid sonic pressure.
Raised amongst the trees of the North Dorset countryside and presently residing in Manchester, Ship Sket grapples with a frenetic and maximalist style that subverts and perverts expectations of UK bass music with equal measure.
His new EP 'England as a Succubus' will be out on 7th June 2024 on Illegal Data.
