Hull Crush Depth sink LP1 into a pressure chamber of pure sound manipulation

Hull Crush Depth’s LP1 arrives on 28 June with a name that already suggests pressure, submersion and the point where structure starts to fail. The release credits Brian Leo Mullen III for sound manipulation and Todd Richardson for artwork, keeping the whole frame stark and physical. Track titles are reduced to roman numerals, which adds to the sense that this is less a song cycle than a pressure test. Experimental noise and sound-manipulation releases often work best when they avoid over-explaining themselves, and LP1 seems to do exactly that. It gives the listener a title, a sequence, a maker and a descent. The rest is up to the sound. Hull crush depth is the point at which a vessel can no longer withstand the surrounding force. That is a perfect metaphor for music that makes pressure the main instrument.
