"Come peer through a tarnished mirror into the strange and distorted dubstep world of Robbing Hood’s album Bull’s Eye.A legion of unsettling samples parade slowly against a background of strange whispers. Syrupy sounds phase around ice-cube clinks and electronic cicadas whilst squeaky-clean, minimalist clicks, snaps and shuffles contrast with a throbbing wall of black noise. The bass intensity is terrifying even when played quietly - Robbing Hood is a master of low frequency vibrations and makes the foundations shudder without raising so much as finger in anger.The product of these ingredients makes fascinating listening; a multifaceted black-noise fractal; a bumble bee trapped inside your skull. The thirteen tracts stay true to the same vein but there’s no repetition; Chinese lutes; a warped old sound track; a gentle rhythm soothes you into a false sense of security before a sample tells you to go and kill your brother. The standing waves of sound pressure shake your internals and the outrageous richness of some of the bass notes borders on frightening. And throughout, Robbing Hood never puts a foot wrong – never once erring towards commercialism yet still managing to produce an uncompromising and original album which is thoroughly listenable. A black-noise earthquake dotted with clinking cutlery and jasmine flowers, as strange and beautiful as staring towards a distant dawn that never seems to break.It’s very dark but never depressing, dub but not dull. Like nothing you’ll have ever heard before whilst still managing to feel as familiar as a comfy old coat."
