"I'm always interested in ways I can dismantle my work once it's done – Bolted was a heavy record both creatively and sonically, so as I finished up the live shows I wanted to revisit it, cracking it open to let some light in" says Barnes of the release. "The whole idea was to be loose with the source material, and these tracks are pieced together using a couple of pieces of hardware with random stems from the sessions".
The hypnotic, beatless versions of the album pushes the sonic world from bleak, alien electronics to into fresh winter air: snippets of vocals and melodies placed into dubbed out organ and synths, musique concrète, brightly hissing tape loops and chamber reverb.
