  Quote

For many a discerning listener, memories of the summer of 2009 will carry in the mind a soundtrack of Clubroot,

who’s eponymous debut album seeped gently across the low-end underground with its stately and beautiful interpretation

of bass music’s more etherial qualities. For the artist, events and experiences since then have co-mingled to catalyse a new

series of graceful objects of sound to be emitted. Visits to such disparate locales as Turkey and Poland became parts of the

cinematic ambience that is the new Clubroot album, a record with no “official” title save for the ‘II : MMX’ date-mark adorning

the front cover. This most inspired producer has created a series of audio-images, distilled to a previously unheard refinement

within his chosen genre, and with a nature and overall shape and scope that largely transcends any style one could attempt to

ascribe it to. It is still electronic music, yet it all sounds so absolutely married to its accompanying elements that it seems as if

it was unearthed in complete form as opposed to constructed by deliberate process. ‘II : MMX’ possesses some of the most

pronounced and arresting basslines ever heard, yet is delivered musically in a language that shares dialectic origins with fellow

stratospheric travellers like Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, or Muslimgauze. In this sense, and taken as a whole, the thread

of pronounced themes and dramatic moments passing through the 11 pieces of ‘II : MMX’ combine and develop to create

something almost magisterial in scope and effect. An early report on The Quietus website speaks of “another, if not richer,

exploration of that whole wistful garage sound Burial made so prevalent”, and much more effusive praise is promised for

what will surely be welcomed as one of the most elegaic and transporting albums of the year, either within or without the

low-frequency firmament. Comparisons with Burial will continue to abound, yet with this release Clubroot is emphatically

establishing his own markedly individual vision of the music of the spheres. ‘II : MMX’ will be available initially in three

distinct formats : standard 11 track CD, 500 copy numbered edition double CD containing bonus disc of three previously

unavaliable Clubroot remixes packaged in hand-made letterpress box, and limited eight track double LP set in vinyl-plus

artwork jacket with uncased copy of the standard 11 track CD included.

Looking forward to this! His first album was flawless.

haven't listened to his debut for a while but stoked to hear he's got another on the way.

Wow. Thanks troon. Didn't know about this guy. As raan said above, flawless.

Nice one! I love the album art too, I'm a sucker for space.

Really enjoyed the first album. One of the few dubstep CDs I listened to more than a couple of times so I will definitely have to give this a whirl.

The trailer sounds great even if it is just more of the same sounds already heard on the first album.

If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Yes. "Untrue" is one of my favourite albums. I have Mount Kimbie's first two EPs on Hot Flush. I like a few of their tracks but I'm not a huge fan.

I am still yet to hear this though.

It is one of my favourite records of this year...but what do I know.....?

you know more then you know
