Lunacre split their time between Cambridge and London, the countryside and the city.
A new but ambitious project, the group fuse a lust for breaking electronics to a need to hone in on classic songcraft.
Somewhere between those two poles, Lunacre emerge. Compared to Vondelpark and Mount Kimbie, there's also a sense of the Bristol sound in here; the intensity of those early Portishead records, for example.
New EP 'Engine' is out this week, with a release show party packing fans into London venue the Sebright Arms. Clash is able to air title track 'Engine', and it's a curiously slowburning beast.
The band's Ben explains: “The song is about motives and discovery. Generally speaking, I wanted to evoke the feeling of redefining something in your mind after having taken it for granted for a long time. It was written in quite vague terms and I hope people can relate to the ideas as well as find their own meaning in it.”
