There's all sorts going on in this intriguing debut from northern six-piece Perpetual Motion Machine. At one end of the spectrum you have the title-track, which arrives knee deep in squelchy G-Funk, incorporating skiffling drums, killer sax hits and chicken-scratch guitar so heavily distorted it sounds like the work of some disgustingly lecherous space cockerel. At the other you have ‘Fog Circle’, the finisher, which features gently propulsive ostinati and the grandfatherly voice of ‘Skylark’ Durston, a poet and stonemason from Dorset. In between comes feral free improv – all wailing saxes and face-melting guitars – and lots more studio trickery, overseen by Leeds-based producer Sam Hobbs. The broken beats of ‘Jack Monkey’ are muddled with electronics that resemble the bubbling of seafloor vents. On ‘Sulphur City Rendezvous’ a synthesised soup wells up around Ben Lowman's woody bass clarinet ditties; while the sparse, bass-led intro to ‘Zen’ sees Steve Hanley's drums banished to some distant corner of the stereo field. Ignition is eclectic to the point of mad, but it has some compelling moments. I'm genuinely excited to hear what PMM come up with next.
