Comment: the US-based artist's 4-notch outing is all about guitars, about clanging and shrieking yet elliptically running guitar patterns. The patterns used to repeat with a slight ambient touch. Of course, Justin Palmieri has been very prolific since 2009, since inception of the project so any minutiae and slightest details I guess is thoroughly developed and analysed. He uses clamorous noises and even melodic sequences atop other layers as if a (noise) poppy version of Glenn Branca's noise symphonies. Indeed, beauty can be perverse and ennobling at the same time – it is a radically indicative anthem for our recent miserable situation globally. Neither Trump nor the leftists can save us although there is up the brainless sort of messianism on both sides. There is no organic ideas and general consensus which could be promulgated within a society. There is no Jesus and Yeezus and will be no Jesus or Yeezus but just hunger and calamities can be seen to come in. All is torn apart. We are poisoning ourselves stepwise to death. Overpopulated Earth is the truly horrendous reality. At least at the same time we can listen to music and enjoy art like this. A party at the time of the plague.
