It’s fair to say Bradford is not exactly renowned as a hotbed of musical talent (anybody who mentions the word ‘Terrorvision’ will be taken outside and shot). Dean Bentley, a.k.a. Hourglass Sea, is doing his bit to drag the West Yorkshire town out of the shadow of near neighbours Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester. His new Live From The Crematorium EP is a mixture of video game samples (‘Memory Eternal’) and VHS or Beta style guitar licks (‘Live From The Crematorium’), over the sort of 80s/90s electro that wouldn’t sound out of place on the soundtrack of a Paul Verhoeven film from the same era.
