Dumb flesh

"Dumb Flesh is easily as good as Fuck Buttons' Slow Focus, but not quite as powerful and punchy as Tarot Sport or Street Horrrsing. It would be foolish to compare it to the self-tiled Blanck Mass album, as the musical aims are so disparate, but it doesn't quite garner the same gut reaction of, "this is a classic" straight out of the gate. It comes pretty close though. This is hugely muscular electronic music, and it takes on the idea of engaging with a theme (beyond, "hey, dance to this!") better than the vast majority of modern electronic musicians muster".

"Dumb Flesh, Power's first work as Blanck Mass for Sacred Bones, lives up to its name in unexpected ways: loaded with undeniable hooks and beats, the album is "dumb" in the best way possible, and embraces the "flesh" part of its title by making bodies move. It's far more dancefloor-oriented than any of Power's work with either of his projects, and more interesting than a none-more-black exploration of physical frailty ... A danceable memento mori, Dumb Flesh is mischievous, poignant, and quite likely Sacred Bones' most accessible release of 2015".
