In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past. This is the world of Bronnt Industries Kapital, and Get Physical are proud to announce the release of its new album, ‘Hard For Justice’.
Bronnt Industries Kapital is the work of UK-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Guy Bartell, who has spent eight years exploring deep frosts of electro-acoustic melancholy, slow-burning sonic terrain and uncharted detours into the absurd. ‘Hard For Justice’ is his third full-length and fully illuminated album, for which he has drawn as much inspiration from myriad marginal movies as from the dance roots of Krautrock, striking a likeable partnership with German dance label Get Physical. Bronnt labours a lust for long-forgotten cinema in ‘Hard For Justice’, resurrecting an era of psychotronic exploitation, Italo-crime and no-budget action thrillers, such as The Beyond, Deadbeat at Dawn, Profondo Rosso, and the towering sound-visions of John Carpenter.
Bronnt’s first album Virtute et Industria, released in 2005 by revered UK independent imprint Static Caravan, created a gas-lit sound world populated by clockwork Victorian automatons spinning dancehall and techno on a set of battered gramophones. This was followed by Haxan, a bespoke soundtrack to the 1920s silent witchcraft movie of the same name commissioned by Tartan Films in 2007, which complemented this stunning cult film with a score that ranged from minimalist piano lullabies to lush full orchestral pieces, heavenly analog sound collages to hellish electrical miasmas.
