'Wrecked' by Zonal - "joyously feel bad album"

Justin Broadrick from Godflesh and Kevin Martin aka The Bug put their project Techno Animal to sleep and started a new one, Zonal with help vocalist Moor Mother, polymath artist and activist. The Quietus likes what they did on 'Wrecked' a lot - it's "grinding negativity and tidal heaviness provides a necessary form of catharsis, that sloughs or burns off the stench of ego and know-betterisms. It is a brutalist sonic and vocal riposte to the McMindfullness of self-enforced positivity and slavish devotion to disavowing the simple notion that things are not ok. And I for one am grateful for that". Listen to the album in full below.
