PRURIENT - 'Bermuda Drain' IN STORES NOW / Streaming at A.V. CLUB

PRURIENT - Bermuda Drain LP/CD
PRURIENT - Bermuda Drain CS


The new album from Prurient - Bermuda Drain is in stores today on Cassette, Vinyl LP (w/download code), CD, and Digital.




PRESS QUOTES:

"After a decade of forging the most jagged, invasive noise imaginable, Fernow has moved ahead, tempering his menace with a broader range of texture and tone. And yes, even melody. The result is Prurient’s strongest statement to date, and its best album." 
- The A.V. Club


"...sonic variety, clear knowledge of his sources, and sheer force of personality. Even when he skirts close to Ministry and Nine Inch Nails on “There Are Still Secrets”, or New Age Ambience on “Let’s Make A Slave”, his glare shoots through the sonic clouds like a laser." 
- The Wire

"...Bermuda Drain‘s my favorite Prurient album (or cassette, or limited-edition whatever) to date: Its nine songs construct an even darker, deeper, violent, emotionally charged edifice to love, lust, and wanting to rip someone apart." 
- Stereogum

"Standing up front, I caught all of Dominick Fernow's violent and fantastic 15 minute set that included his Cold-Cave bandmate Wes Eisold adding another layer of electronic noise. Dominick screamed and thrashed violently (ultimately knocking over his rig) into two microphones while an icy mix of darkwave synths, black metal, and noise blasted through the PA. Incredible set." 
- BrooklynVegan

"...as if Whitehouse decided to work on a record with Depeche Mode or any of the artists on Veronica Vasicka’s Minimal Wave imprint. None of which appears premeditated or unpure. If anything, Prurient sounds, and looks, as frightening as ever onstage, silencing anyone who still doesn’t understand why he’s been making deviant pop music with Cold Cave the past few years." 
- Self-Titled

"Bold, original and astonishingly well-produced throughout, Bermuda Drain really is a new peak in Prurient's prolific career" 
- Boomkat / Album of the Week

"Bermuda Drain is surely one of the most remarkable attempts in recent years to propel noise into fresh territories." 
- Dusted
