building on the foundations they laid with 02's cellular memory, miocene have created an album that's as astonishing as it is annoying.  dominated by squarepusher-esque skittering, electronica, intelligent metal and fast-paced, urban sprawl british hip-hop, they've carved themselves out an entirely new genre.

if you're a trend-hopping music fan who loves, ooh lets say the bravery, because some shit magazine told you to then fcuk right off, you'll find nothing of interest.

the swamp is a challenging headfcuk of an album, but one that's well worth the pain.
