Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh) and Mick Harris (Napalm Death) drop militant, hard techno on this split LP. This new album doubles the track count (and runtime) of the duo's last collab. The stalwart Birmingham have connected again as JK Flesh and Monrella to deliver the warehouse- destroying hard techno album Shouting The Odds, five years after their last EP, See Red. Featuring four tracks from each artist, Shouting The Odds invokes both the feeling of listening to late night pirate radio and sweating in a darkened warehouse as the rafters shake, complete with the perfect amount of analog wow and flutter. Brimming with gnarled, unrelenting kicks hovering between 130-140bpm, the split format deftly showcases both artist's individual strengths, while displaying undeniable commonality. Broadrick's side leans traditional hard techno, filled with mesmerizing, minimal synth arpeggios and contrasting toplines, all aligned and maligned by shrewd transitions. Harris' section presents more experimental and house influences, using bright, distorted synth hits and a touch of forlorn melody. The tracks take on a life of their own through expert use of filters and just the right amount of delay, stutter, and glitch. Never before has an album filled with such shining, shimmering synths been so black and threatening. JK Flesh and Monrella have hard techno down to a science.
