THE REVIEW
An simply stunning album.
The two English DJs who make up the duo Bent, after years spent in the trenches of house music, dedicate themselves to their debut work.
They make an album. And what an album.
You'll find simply everything, each track is a new discovery, something unexpected and magnificent.
Just listen to "Swollen" and "I Love My Man" to understand what artistic heights two guys and a computer can achieve, and so much poetry.
With this album, Bent lays the foundation for a new sound that seeks, digs, creates, discards, quotes, invents, drawing inspiration from the sounds that surround them. Sounds strictly electronic.
Undoubtedly an essential album, for its variety of sounds, attention to track construction, and for those delightful episodes that are the two aforementioned pieces.
