Padded Cell - Night Must Fall

2008 full length debut from the duo of Richard Sen And Neil Beatnik, who have been the focus of growing speculation for some time now. Drawing inspiration from bands as diverse as Goblin, the Velvet Underground, Arthur Russell, Material, Bush Tetras, and Carl Craig, this duo's analogue fetishism is here augmented by an impressive list of collaborators: Dennis Young (Liquid Liquid) plays percussion and marimba, Chloe Battant from London punk funk band Battant delivers vocals; guitars and synths come from sonic necromancer Giallos Flame and Italian producers the Diaphanoids deliver strings, synths and vocals. With careers as prolific club deejays and live performers that have spanned almost two decades, not to mention remixing the likes of the Glimmer Twins, Mekon, Sly Mongoose and Big Two Hundred, it follows that Padded Cell's album debut should exist in both club and long player form.
