Al Wootton - We Have Come To Banish The Dark
Al Wootton makes a triumphant return to his imprint Trule with his sophomore album, "We Have Come To Banish The Dark." Born out of dystopian times, the record exudes a tense vitality and controlled force, never succumbing to oppression or nihilism. The overarching theme revolves around unity, liberation, and resistance against the encroaching shadows of fascism, hypercapitalism, and right-wing politics. Amidst this, a persistent thread of hope and illumination prevails, notably evident in the laid-back grooves of "Devarim" and the closing moments of "May Your Angels Of Light Accept Him." Drawing from his early days playing in post-punk bands and a deep-rooted affinity for Metal, Wootton infuses this swung, robust techno album with echoes of industrial pioneers like Chris and Cosey, Coil, and Throbbing Gristle. The specters of the UK Hardcore continuum, from Jungle to UK Garage, linger hauntingly, while the rhythms maintain a nimble and delicate touch, offering a striking contrast to the monochromatic industrial soundscape.
