Biography

Members: Duncan Attwood, Ben Paget, Johnny Horswell and Ben Green

Blueneck is a British band, but the origins of their name intersect with the histories of Canada and America.

In September 2011 Blueneck released Repetitions, their third album, on Denovali Records.

The new LP is the follow-up to 2010’s The Fallen Host (“Stunning” – Rocksound, “Fantastic… an intoxicating, all-consuming experience” – Classic Rock: Prog) and 2006’s debut Scars of the Midwest.

Though steeped in the trademark melancholy power of their former works, Repetitions resonates with new heights of emotional drama. From the butcher’s knife-edge tension of strident opener ‘Pneumothorax’, past the cocooned confessional ‘Barriers Down’, to the cathartic windswept Americana of ‘The Last Refuge’, Repetitions makes a deliberate lunge for the emotional jugular.

It’s without doubt that this red-blooded output results from Repetitions’ unusual recording process. Whereas the first two albums were constructed in Blueneck’s reclusive studio deep in the farmlands of Somerset, this time the band made the deliberate decision to head to the city. Working with producer Mat Sampson in his Bink Bonk basement studios in Bristol, a recording session started that would eventually span an 18 month period, ending in June 2011.

It wasn’t just the surroundings that needed to change. Contrary to their previous approach, this time Sampson encouraged Blueneck to minimise digital trickery. The band deliberately embraced analogue tools, acoustic instruments and live performances.

    Looking through the tracks here on last.fm, I find Blueneck tracks like "Quicksand", "The mark of the wizard", "There is hope here", 7th Day", "Stars bring us closer", "Forget this place", and "Here comes the wolves". What the fuck are these tracks? Is there some Blueneck album / EP put there that I don't know about, or is it just some fucktard who's too fucking stupid to tag his/her tracks properly?

    @zyffe--: You should listen to The Pirate Ship Quintet. They're exceptional. And you should give ef a try.

    can anyone recommend me some death metal bands in this vein?

    @ zyffe--: there is an ample amount of great post-rock bands out there. Kicking still, alive and well. I know that a lot of groups borrow sounds and saturate the genre as a whole... but as far as I'm concerned, post-rock and its variations are among the last quality strains of music in this day and age. If you're curious about legitimate suggestions, hit me up sometime.
