A relentless apparatus of control turned upon each of us- every movement, every keystroke, every utterance, tracked by someone, somewhere, to whom we are just an assemblage of behaviors and preferences to catalog and manipulate. Our lives, a string of ones and zeroes, numbers to crunch and data to code, so as best to manage us from behind screens, behind doors, behind desks, and the behind barrels of guns. They’re hiding from us, these liars, cowards, and thieves, whose whims shape our desires and whose lifestyles demand our blood. They’ve convinced us to offer up our faces, voices, bodies, minds, and lives to become the component parts of their machine. Their reckless engine, so frictionless in its brutal efficiency, that we barely notice as it burns us for its fuel, its pillars spewing out our sanity, our solidarity, our souls, as so much billowing, black smoke. Everything we are, reduced to ash as we’re fed to its fires to line the pockets and fill the stomachs of liars, cowards, and thieves.
One of many releases I missed last year, and boy is this hitting hard now that I found it. Very similar to Morrow, which I love, but much quicker in getting the point across without losing any of the impact. Really great stuff. Dementicus
Aussie trio Burger Chef dish out a hearty helping of noise rock with a side of d-beat: messy, raw, and oh-so satisfying. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2022
I heard this a decade or so ago and just had my mind blown by the combination of crust punk and a fucking cello. What's more to say? Well its raw, cathartic, and a great story to boot. Stella Rotko
