Los Angeles trio Signal Bleach make a brutal, brilliant entrance with their debut Worthless Milk, a chaotic fusion of industrial noise, punk ferocity, and breakcore grooves. Inspired by the likes of Death Grips and Skinny Puppy, the album is a relentless, high-voltage ride through modern paranoia and digital-age disillusionment.
From the disorienting onslaught of “Glock Winter” to the jagged lurch of ““Glitch Piss,” Signal Bleach refuse to offer comfort. Instead, they bury you in distortion, guttural screams, and malfunctioning synths that feel like corrupted data from a dystopian mainframe. Yet beneath the abrasion lies craft—tight production, rhythmic inventiveness, and a warped sense of melody that keeps the chaos engaging.
Tracks like “Post-Mate ULTRA + (BOGO Edition)” and the hilariously titled “Micropenis Plastic” feel like the soundtrack to a nervous breakdown in real-time, pushing genre conventions into absurd and unsettling territory. Worthless Milk is an uncompromising statement of intent from a band who see no separation between sound and confrontation. It’s ugly, captivatingly disturbing, and undeniably of this moment. Produced by band members Andrew Hall and Casey Garcia, the album is out now and will stand out as one of the best releases this year for any fan of industrial noise.
