ROCK

Reissue, Digipak
‘The Best Of 2008 – 2018 Internal Landscapes’ showcases the highly influential Liverpool sextet’s uncompromising dedication to fearless artistry. They’ve continually evolved since 1990 by placing hope in the future – from leaving the underground scene they were fundamental in establishing to continually mesmerising the world with dramatic post-progressive alternative rock that knows no borders.

This collection, previously issued in 2018, is now available again on CD. Curated by the band, this collection selects the best works from their prolific output on the ground-breaking label Kscope. In this time the band left their heavier roots & transcended into emotional heaviness that resonated deep within the heart of the listener. It takes its name from perhaps band’s most heartfelt song; ‘Weather Systems’.

The Japanese art of kintsugi is to take something broken and make it more beautiful than before; shards of ceramic put back together with gold-flecked glue, the cracks a proud part of the object. It’s a concept that’s central to Broken Machine, the second album from Southend-formed, South-east-based five-piece Nothing But Thieves, whose slow-burning self-titled 2015 debut made them a big deal worldwide– but fractured them too.
