Blanck Mass
Blanck Mass is the solo project of Benjamin John Power. The Fuck Buttons musician has been making music under the moniker since 2010 and his second album, Dumb Flesh, is his Sacred Bones debut. Power’s self-titled debut was released on Mogwai’s Rock Action in 2011. Described by Fact Magazine as “simultaneously soothing and sweepingly grandiose, esoteric and surprisingly accessible,” the album was an elegant, introspective departure from the stadium electronica he had become known for. In 2012, “Sundowner” — the second track from the album — soundtracked the London Olympics Opening Ceremony. The song was chosen by Underworld’s Rick Smith and performed by London’s Symphony Orchestra to 900 million people worldwide.
