Blacklight Beat Patrol transforms chaos into art on new album 'Phizzle Phinkle Pop'

Scott Corneau’s Blacklight Beat Patrol returns with an album that feels like a cityscape rendered in sound: jagged, luminous, and unrelentingly alive. 'Phizzle Phinkle Pop' is a fully instrumental exploration where Latin-inflected rhythms, fractured breakbeats, and industrial noise collide in ways that are as unpredictable as they are compelling. Corneau’s home-studio experimentation translates into tracks that are simultaneously frenetic and meditative, demanding attentive listening while rewarding repeated plays.

From the absurd rush of 'Snooze Mosher (Late Again)' to the warped, cinematic pulse of 'Not After Midnight', each piece conjures vivid, sometimes uncanny imagery without ever pinning down a literal narrative. 'Moulin à Paroles Discothèque' thrashes with the energy of a club conversation gone off-kilter, while quieter moments allow tension to ease into reflective calm.

Across the album, Corneau balances humour and unease with subtle precision, leaving space for our own interpretation while never diluting the music’s emotional gravity.

Mastered by Tijan J Wise, the album’s soundscape is precise yet elastic, where every percussive hit and electronic shimmer feels deliberate, yet the tracks breathe with a restless, human imperfection. The result is a record that resists easy categorisation, and one that captures the complex, sometimes abrasive mood of its moment in time.

'Phizzle Phinkle Pop' is an invitation to inhabit Corneau’s world and come away with your own stories.
