Benefits - Constant Noise [CD]

• CD

“Constant Noise” follows the band’s widely acclaimed 2023 debut album “NAILS”, a passionate expression of anger and disillusionment about divisive, xenophobic, and toxic rhetoric, told through the filter of brutal, eviscerating music.

“We’re still angry and “Constant Noise” is an angry album,” says Hall, “just angry in a different way to before. We wanted to create something almost joyous in its disgust at the world. If the previous record was black and white, we wanted this to be technicolour.” 

Collaborators on the album include The Libertines’ Peter Doherty, Zera Tønin, the singer of queerpop-electro duo Arch Femmesis, Neil Cooper of Therapy?, and Middlesborough rapper Shakk. In addition to guest musicians, the album also features production work from James Welsh (Phantasy Sound), and James Adrian Brown (ex-Pulled Apart By Horses, now electronic/tape loops/noise artist) who helped to guide the new direction. The result is an album that gleans as much from the likes of Underworld and Leftfield as it does the likes of The Streets or Beastie Boys in their pomp, or even the 90s / early 00s Indie Sleaze-era.
