about

Jilk fuses a bewildering collage of home-found sounds with the ambient soundscapes of washy synths, insect-like clicks & cuts, and huge gorgeous waves of all-encompassing experimental noise. A Bristol based collective of musicians firmly rooted in many of the city’s alternative artistic scenes, Jilk have always strived through collaboration to be greater than the sum of their parts.  

Welcome Lies marks the return of Jilk after a lengthy and considered writing process. The album comprises five long form songs that draw from contemporary electronica as much as they do from Canadian post-rock.

The long gestation can be heard in the layers of depth and detail that permeate the album. Neo-classical drones sit alongside jazz drum improvs, distorted broken electronics and lush hypnogogic layers of synths and orchestral bliss. Chopped and screwed vocals drift in and out of focus before being washed away in a sea of vibraphones, strings, guitars and armies of miniature robot percussionists.

This is Jilk at the height of their collective powers.

This release also marks the first print media Jilk have produced. The zine document, heavily inspired by the occult, horror and punk aesthetics, is exclusive to Castles In Space and is only available to Castles in Space Subscription Library members. Framing the five beautiful songs in a narrative of dark rituals and incantations, monstrous political ideologies and mass manipulation, the zine gives a sense of how the surprisingly intimate themes of each song were born out of troubled relationships with the outside world.

Interim Report, March 1979

I bought the album because I was hooked by the opening track. Its uplifting quality and tempo fit the 1979 new town utopia concept perfectly. The rest of the album - minus the closing track - came as a bit of a surprise however, with a very different atmosphere of doom and gloom. This was more fitting to the cynic of the new town - the Thatcherite’s mood perhaps, sounds befitting an Adam Curtis doc or Blade Runner. The 1st and 8th tracks - brutalist utopia - are the ones that will stick with m bedster
