Pale Sketcher: Music (2013)

Warm Sunday (2013)

Pale Sketcher will be a name that sounds familiar to fans of Jesu because Justin K. Broadrick released a Jesu album named Pale Sketches (2007). This is him again, in another of his many guises, but it's lighter in tone than most of his other works.

It has things in common with Jesu material but is stripped back and deconstructed, replacing guitar with a dreamlike quality synth.

Broadrick is prolific with his music but he never puts out crap, so you can always buy with confidence. It's a Name Your Price at Bandcamp, so it's up to you how much you think it's worth. You can find it HERE.

Just Won't Sing (2013)

The second EP from Pale Sketcher is a little unusual at first, but fans of Justin K. Broadrick should know to expect the unexpected by now.

It's rooted in an electronic/ambient style but not limited to it. Loops are hypnotically buoyant. The bass is immense if your speakers are equipped to deal with it and strangely isn't at odds with the feeling of peace and calm that the synth provides.

Like the previous release it's available as a digital DL only from the official bandcamp page, where you can hear all tracks for free before deciding.
