Made up of Alex Hill, Isaac Jones, James Rushforth and Nick Berthoud, alongside visual artist Jason Baker. SCALER have been hailed as “Bristol’s next national breakthrough” by critics (The Guardian) and “legends in the making” by fans (per the always-honest YouTube comment section). Endlessly is their second album, formally, following 2022’s acclaimed Void, which earned praise for their “perfect synergy between intensity and precision” (Pitchfork) and led to a 2023 double A-side single with Daniel Avery (“Loam” / “New Symbols”) that expanded on their more club-wise impulses– in keeping with a slew of remix projects shared over the years, featuring boundary-hoppers such as Laurel Halo, Bruce, and Azu Tiwaline. It also meant more chances to play out their formidable, now-stuff-of-legend live show, including an ArcTanGent headline, a Shangri-La shutdown at Glastonbury, and performances at Boomtown, Green Man, End Of The Road, ADE, Nuits Sonores, and many more.

Powerful and immediate, like a raised pulse under taut skin, Endlessly tugs at emotional threads and sonic touchpoints that feel tangled up – deliberately so – in the musical heritage of their city. There are traces of trip-hop, drum‘n’bass and experimental electronic, plus flashes of pupil-dilating techno, metal and drill, all carried by immense low-end pressure and tempered by more subdued, spatial stretches that drift and sprawl. Voices layer and loop, instrumentals do the same.
