Album Review: Filtered Senses

Pitch Black, the duo from Christchurch are back after nine long years with a brand new dub album, Filtered Senses. It’s dark and mysterious with a laid back lounge club feel.

It’s certainly not heart racing, blood pumping stuff, but it has definitely got its upbeat tracks such as Circuit Bent. The title of the album Filtered Senses sums up the feel perfectly. Great sounds that take over your body.

There are definitely no one-hit wonders as it journeys through the forest of sound with strange noises from the undergrowth hitting you from all sides. It’s a great sound to chill out to, although keep the lights on as spooky sounds from Without The Trees may freak you out a touch.

My favourite song is the last one on the 8 track album, Pixel Dust. A great bass line with a dance feel. The 80’s meets the dub scene would sum it up nicely.

If you liked Rude Mechanicals you are going to love this - it’s as though they have never been away.

Turn it up loud and enjoy.
