Label GB

Harbinger Sound

Harbinger Sound is a long-running U.K. label that has been dedicated to avant-punk, post-punk, experimental noise, and more. Led by Steve Underwood, the label has been at the forefront of pushing boundaries in underground music for years.
In the Spring of 2021, Harbinger Sound unfortunately went into liquidation. Despite this setback, they left their mark with a final release for Girls In Synthesis as part of Record Store Day.
Throughout its existence, Harbinger Sound has consistently championed innovative and boundary-pushing artists within the alternative music scene. With an impressive catalog of releases and a reputation for quality and authenticity, Harbinger Sound remains an influential force in independent music.

"My Descent Into Capital" represents the most ambitious recording from this London-based duo to date. Even if they're taking influence from minimal synth, post-punk or early industrial sides, Circuit Breaker are unmistakably contemporary with their delivery. Forging together metallic drum machines, propulsive synth lines and stark guitar degradation into bold , simple and effective songs about down-trodden themes of isolation, discontentment and the true horror of work. This album transgresses any simple nostalgia for its musical forefathers and showcases a band with their eyes fixed firmly on the future. Any obvious reference points are contorted and stretched to the point where they are transformed into something new. After ten years of obscurity and a refusal to go away, and after two well-received records on Tombed Visions, this album is their first full-length album, and first for abstract-punk imprint Harbinger Sound. After many shows with supporting Harbinger Sound mainstays Sleaford Mods, the duo are about to embark on an extensive tour with new label mates Consumer Electronics early next year.  The album was mastered by Barry Grint at Alchemy.
