Broken Spaceship
A Part With Some Significance
If you are looking for a raw, sharp sound that doesn’t care if you’re ready for it or not, then the new EP from London based artist Broken Spaceship, is the record for you. The first track comes in like it’s already been playing for hours in some backroom where the lights are too dim and the air is thick. No introduction, no easing in. You either keep up or get left behind.
The production is bare in places, almost confrontational, but that’s what makes it breathe and adds real depth and character. Every snare hit feels like it’s been left unpolished on purpose, the kind of choice that makes you lean closer. Vocals aren’t here to charm you. They’re there to get under your skin.

Halfway through, the record takes a turn that isn’t dramatic, just an inevitable twist. A bassline creeps in slow, nothing fancy, just there to push the rest forward. Maybe it's Broken Spaceship checking you’re paying attention, which is the point, this isn’t background noise.
There’s no bid for radio play here. No friendly hooks designed to stick in your head for three days. It’s music that demands you meet it where it stands. Having carved out a unique niche in music, they describe themselves as post punk, poetic, hip-hop, electronic indie project, which is a very broad spectrum, but it kind of hits the nail on the head.
