about

Part of the Deathbed Tapes BLACKOUT series
deathbedtapes.bandcamp.com/album/16-shades-of-black

The spectrum of bad feelings, shapeless forms in darkness, undefined yet visible; this is hitting rock bottom and going deeper. 16 shades of Black—the nuance that separates "being sad" from melancholy from depression from suicidal ideation from self-destructive hedonism, et al. "Cupcake" and "Ugly Bunny," things with positive cultural associations but, actually, bad influences. This is plaque tartar and bad skin, borderline alcoholism and medical obesity; insomnia and night terrors and a very German work ethic. If Pig is the soundtrack to giving in, this is the sound of giving up. A spectral death rattle that's all in the head, and thus propels the captive audience (the "Self") further into self-inflicted depravity and degradation. DJ Speedsick's spiral; The Minotaur in the House of Leaves. Life is a death sentence.

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}

Fans of Fire-Toolz, take note! The brutal new LP from STCLVR occupies the same sonic territory, with harsh electronics & pummeling beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2020
