Kill

Disquiet, Kill, and most recently Love. The titles of British composer John Bence’s albums are compelling and forceful, but his music is not nearly as unambiguous. The black-and-white visual accompaniment to Kill underscores the musical extremes and emotional depths of his music, which recalls artists such as Scott Walker.

John Bence

John Bence is a composer and producer from Bristol, UK. He uses music to probe the deepest recesses of the human psyche. Following his debut EP Disquiet (Other People, 2015), Bence’s three-part composition Kill affirms his expanding vocabulary and singular modus operandi, tackling epic narrative themes and uncompromising sonics with a juddering emotional punch.
