Abstract rock outfit Chrome Hoof issue their third installment since landing in 2000. Founder Leo Smee’s vision for the band fuses boundless creativity with theatrical showmanship, which has lead to a viral following and recognition on late-night Radio 1. Through Southern Records, Crush Depth sees a ten-strong lineup collaborate to form their most ambitious release to date.

The end-result is profound. There’s little coherence considered in between progressions, instead replaced with unhinged talent that strives to craft a unique patch within rock & roll. I’m not entirely convinced this was the best approach. Each track is almost too random to relate to and it’s difficult to procure a confident rhythm. They’ve certainly been bold with the idea. I haven’t unearthed an act that carves such a poignant niche no doubt welcomed by the patrons of World Of Warcraft.
