    First Pressing Jan 2024

    Matt Loveridge is a prolific multi-instrumentalist condemned to
    Bristol, UK. He has over 60 solo records under various monikers, done
    before and after his time in Beak>, none of which appear on major
    streaming platforms, nor get much attention. His work as MXLX is a
    miasmatic fog, and he tosses us deep into it. Kicking Away at the
    Decrepit Walls til the Beautiful Sunshine Blisters Thru The Cracks is
    his most celebrated release (if you count hate mail), and it appears
    here for the first time both on vinyl and somewhere not on his own
    site.

    Songs swerve between ambient, electronic ambient noise, metal, and
    industrial. Vocal harmonies ride arpeggiated basslines and shimmering
    synth lines, ascending upwards before plummeting into distorted
    screams. And yet, Loveridge’s aggression does not overlook
    introspection. He faces us stripped of all pretense, creaking “I’ve
    got that dumb skull of yours locked in place,” apologizing, “I’m sorry
    for all that I’ve done in the name of myself” and laughing in our
    face, “Just kidding, I hope you rot in the ground.” Drawing from an
    obsession with literature, he’s converted a life stricken with bouts
    of depression and homelessness into febrile sonic turbulence. He
    channels the intensity of groups like Pharmakon and The Body, while
    embracing compositional noise like Colin Stetson. With droning
    organs, emotionless chanting, and fleeting walls of sound, his results
    have more to do with cosmic futility than petty score-settling.

    MXLX produces barren liturgies of raw emotion, like a fallen medieval
    monk given a synthesizer. He pulls you from comfort, spits in your
    eye, and abandons you as roadkill. An explosive catharsis not for
    faint hearts or distracted minds.
