POST-PUNK DISCIPLINE COLLAPSING UNDER ITS OWN PULSE
Bricklayer operates where convergence fails and convenience mutinies. The project moves through post-punk structure, allowing it to fracture into industrial pressure, jazz tension, noise spill, punk weight, and collapse.
With several members spread across different countries and time zones, Bricklayer exists through dislocation — a post-punk discipline collapsing under its own pulse.
The band’s debut Form Over Function / Flesh Over Form (SUB012) is a concept record tracing the awakening of BRK-1138, a worker engineered for compliance.
Born under license, BRK-1138 is absorbed into a tyrannical system and rebuilt as a filter trained to maintain order. For years, he performs flawlessly — until memory reasserts itself.
The album is accompanied by a graphic novel, Formwork, expanding the world of Form Over Function/Flesh Over Form and Elliott Wave’s story.
