SCALER

SCALPING @scalpingmusic share a new single and video ‘Remain In Stasis’ featuring Grove @theyisgrove, taken from the band’s highly anticipated debut album ‘Void’. The video, recorded on location in the iconic @fabric club, is a visceral and raucous live performance which captivates the energy and brutality of the track.

‘Remain in Stasis’ features fast-rising artist Grove; the Bristol-based vocalist, producer and self-professed metalhead whose commanding presence sets the track alight. Grove's 2021 release ‘Spice’ launched them into prominence with high praise from Crack Magazine, Metal Magazine, Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Pan-African Music, Hunger and more.

“Me and SCALPING met at Mickey Zogg's in Bristol since our @noodsradio radio shows are one after the other. I've admired their artistry for time and was gassed to be asked to work on a tune together. After a few pints and good conversation on the concept of memory, we got to work warping and playing with their track demo. I landed on lyrically exploring the duality of memory. It has the power to be beautiful/terrifying, reminiscent/ traumatising and all the shades of mundane in between. This is a cathartic exercise of that. Grove

"It's very exciting to share our first music with vocals. This was our first time collaborating musically with someone outside of the band, and working with Grove was amazing. The energy they brought to the process and the way they evolved the song was incredibly refreshing; especially after working on our music remotely through various lockdowns for the best part of two years. Although Remain in Stasis is musically the most straightforward track on the album, it took us the longest to finish. We finished the mix while in the van on the way to London to master the album."

Bristol techno, noise and hardcore supremos SCALPING have announced details of their highly anticipated debut album “Void”.

Due out 29th April via Houndstooth, the record comes on the heels of an extremely exciting 2021 for the band, which saw them play to sold-out crowds at the Roundhouse twice in two weeks - both on tour with Squarepusher and at Pitchfork Festival London - as well as selling out their own headline date at Peckham Audio, and releasing two widely acclaimed EPs titled “FLOOD” and “FLOOD Remixed”, the latter of which featured treatments from producers Hodge, Azu Tiwaline, object blue, AQXDM and Laurel Halo, and Scottish instrumental rock legends Mogwai.

The news of the album is accompanied by a new single titled “Flashforward”, a slow-burning beauty made-up of atmospheric vocalisations, churning riffs, and propulsive, motorik basslines. The track also comes with a new video from visual designer and long-term collaborator Jason Baker.

As SCALPING’s sound becomes more adventurous, so has their aesthetic, the technically impressive animation uses richly coloured and textured sequences to compliment the bands darker narratives: of paranoia and surrender, with cinematic elements of science fiction, body horror and technology’s dominance over man.

This February, “Void” will be put to the test, as the band kicks off an eight-date UK headline tour, culminating in a live performance at Fabric on May 5th. As live shows return in 2022, SCALPING will continue to prove themselves as one of the UK’s most impressive, ambitious, and original new live bands
