Weirding Way

Blanck Mass is the solo project of Benjamin John Power, who began making music under that name in 2010. His self-titled debut album, recorded in his apartment, featured ambient, droning electronic music that was both abstract and accessible. One of the tracks from this album, "Sundowner," gained recognition when it was used during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Blanck Mass' second album, Dumb Flesh, released in 2015, was inspired by the flaws of the human form in its current evolutionary state.

Blanck Mass draws inspiration from a variety of artists and genres including Forest Swords, Steve Hauschildt, Oneohtrix Point Never, Roly Porter, Emeralds, Tim Hecker and more. His unique sound combines elements of experimental electronic music with a captivating intensity.

With each release under Blanck Mass, Benjamin John Power continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. His music resonates with listeners who appreciate thought-provoking compositions that challenge conventional norms.

Vinyl Singles

The binary nature of this latest release almost compels it to reflect that oldest of all human dualities: love and hate. 'Bloodhound' deals with the latter, especially politically-charged injustices and the violence of "the hunt"; that targeting of inhabitants on their own land with a level of cruelty which can seem at times to even cross into sport. In contrast, 'You' is perhaps the closest Blanck Mass has ever come to penning a love song. It perhaps also serves as a bittersweet acknowledgement of the way life somehow manages to accommodate both extremes, simultaneously. Since the last Blanck Mass studio album In Ferneaux, Blanck Mass has scored the movie soundtracks for ’Ted K’ and ‘Gazza’; in addition to the TV series’ ‘Floodlights’ and ’The Rig’. He co-wrote and produced the last Editors album EBM and before starting work on further film and TV projects he found time to write and record his latest single. Here it is, crank up the volume and let it rage...
