LP version. Yellow color vinyl. Broken Allures, the fifth LP from trio Jac Berrocal (Nurse With Wound collaborator), David Fenech, and Vincent Epplay (following releases on Blackest Ever Black, Akuphone, KlangGalerie), furthers their unique recording style with a musique concrète approach to mixing, characterized by the distinctive sound and technique of musicians and producers. Fenech and Epplay have paired with legendary French musician Berrocal, renowned for his collaborations with Nurse With Wound, Vince Taylor, Jaki Liebezeit, Pascal Comelade, Sunny Murray, and more. Broken Allures is arguably their most coherent and fully accomplished album to date. For this album, the trio has invited two fantastic musicians to compose with them: Cosey Fanni Tutti and Jah Wobble. Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, COUM Transmissions) contributes vocals, cornet, and electric guitar in her unique style. She has also written lyrics for two tracks on the album and brings a radical touch to the instrumental track "Viva la Hacienda," which, in her own words, recalls her time recording with Throbbing Gristle. Jah Wobble (founding member of Public Image Limited, and collaborator with African Head Charge, Brian Eno, Björk, Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, Bill Laswell, Primal Scream, Evan Parker, Sinéad O'Connor, and more) plays a deep bass line on one track. He adds his signature industrial dub sound, with deep sub-bass frequencies.
