Ready by Bruce

Following up on the elegantly sculpted « Not » earlier in 2023, Bruce moves onto his second EP of the year for Timedance, and carves a new display of powerful yet intimate canticles showcasing a deeply personal pop transition,

More windows open into this new space and our eyes wander through a now growing narrative. Shifting from the more yearning landscapes of his previous EP, « Ready » feels equally blooming and anxiously urgent, but carries a life and energy of its own where sincerity reaches new heights with both smitten joy and desperate fury.

Fully embracing the scope of his own metamorphosis, Bruce’s earnest delivery hits straight to the core. While maintaining a balance of intimate and sophisticated overtones, he can be heard here expanding his palette further and confidently embraces more playfulness.

As we are presented with five more stories, expressing age-old themes of love and the inherent turbulence that lies therein, we're once again clutched in a rich and lucid sonic otherworld.

Larry McCarthy creates postmodern rhythmic drama at the burning intersection of UK dance music. His music operates at all speeds without any predictable formula. Some tracks stutter and thump with cybernetic power; others flutter and glide in poignant shades of blurring colour. It’s a fragmented, low-frequency meltdown, evocative shimmers of light emanating from the cracks.
