Matthew Barnes makes dub-scarred electronics that sound excavated rather than produced, working from the Wirral coast with a sense of place most electronic music does not attempt. Bolted brings more rhythmic teeth than his earlier work while keeping the same weathered, half-buried atmosphere. He scores dance and film alongside it.
