| Bio: |
This two-man project featured Justin and long-time collaborator Diarmuid Dalton (Cable Regime, Final, Jesu, Godflesh, Grey Machine, Iroha, Saskwatch). The defunct Avalanche Inc. site describes the project as being "born from vintage analog only synth and fx improvisations. Project began early 2008 inspired by JKB as he was collecting tracks from old Final cassettes...JKB and Diarmuid set about recording long improv sessions using only old analog instruments much like Final did around 1983-87. These sessions are then edited and mixed/produced by JKB." Its first release, Kitsland was named after "a road in the Shard End area of East Birmingham where they both lived and met in 1984." (from The Quietus). 2025 saw the project's first release in almost nine years proving that this collaboration, while sporadic, hasn't been shelved. |

| * | First material issued after a nine-year lapse. Released digitally only on 10 June, 2025. | |
| * | Recorded between 2020 and 2024 and described as, "Absorbing early industrial music, krautrock and dub / dub techno." Additionally, this material aims at "Exploring the immediate geography of the areas of Birmingham where Justin and Diarmuid were raised." The building in the distance is, presumably, the edifice shown on the cover of the band's debut LP | |
