Review: Carrera is the latest addition to Mark Broom's label and on Hovi, he demonstrates why he is the perfect fit. "Eik" is a tough, steely rhythm track that cruises at 125 bpm before exploding in a cacophony of searing riffs and doubled up claps. On the title track and "Lunge", Carrera opts for a different approach. Both arrangements resound to heavy kicks, gnarled percussion and head-melting acid tweaks. To welcome Carrera properly into the Beard Man fold, Broom has commissioned two remixes; the first, his own take on "Eik", resounds to spiky snares and a rolling rhythm, while on Discrete Circuit version of "Hovi", Carrera's acid riffs are underpinned by doubled up claps.
