During a recent interview with The Guardian, Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, etc.) discussed his new project White Light District. According to him, the material will be “heavy” and “ugly.”
Broadrick said the following:
“I wouldn’t dare call it a Godflesh replacement. Because it’s heavy, ugly music, people may venture that it is, but it will be less rock based. It’s not confined by that instrumentation. It will sound like Glenn Branca with metal guitars, except it’s not metal: 15 layers of guitar that create this ultra-cluster of fucking hallucinatory dissonance, which could not be created by a band.”
The frontman will shift his focus to that project as well as Jesu, JK Flesh, etc. following the completion of Godflesh’s final album. That effort is titled “The End” and he plans to record it in November/December. However, it will feature more high-pitched screams and spoken-word pieces due to his growls being limited by his hernia surgery.
On another note, Broadrick also revealed that he may continue to collaborate with Phoebe Bridgers after appearing on her latest album “Lost Weekend”:
“The fact that she was so personable and we were immediate friends was brilliant for me, but I was overwhelmed by how big she is. I was literally sending music to Taylor Swift’s personal engineer! I’m catapulted into this huge, mainstream world, and I’m like, ‘How the fuck am I here?!’ She wanted me to play guitar and bass on a song for a film. She said to me a few months ago, ‘I’m just going to keep hitting you up.’”
