Pendle Coven
unveils quite possibly their sickest workout to date --
Hex
. The mighty "Brittle Bones" wraps itself around a ridiculous bassline and unfolds with a percussive fervor that sounds like a cross between
Anthony Shakir
and
Monolake
messing around with
Dego
-- a forward-thinking club smasher. "Waveplate" involves panning 4/4 of the highest order, deep and heavy, and "Golden Hadron" finally seals it with cathartic dub styles. All killer.

Gary Howell
, and this is their long-awaited debut full-length release. Pendle have been amassing a substantial archive of material since their debut release came out back in 2003. In the intervening years, they have released seven EPs for Modern Love before finally compiling
Self Assessment
. Within their body of work, Pendle Coven have explored areas of techno and electronic music as diverse as their interests, taking in early '90s-style hardcore, drone,

electro- and warehouse minimalism along the way. This album is compiled from a number of tracks previously released on the
£100 A Metre
,
Marriage Of Convenience
,
Hex
and
Iamnoman
12" EPs, and includes 6 previously-unreleased tracks from the archives, spanning the last 5 years. The album opens with the disembodied guitar treatment of "Aged Drone," paving the way for the stripped menace of "Iamnoman." From there, we drop in on the staggered proto-dubstep of "Unit 6," an alternate string-driven version of the airy stepper "Uncivil Engineering," the classic padded bass techno of "Modern Mode" and, finally, the towering chord crescendos of the Berlin-inspired "Exigen."
