Touché Amouré LAMENT (2020)


Lead track slays, clearly the albums high-point...wait track 4 rules maybe these boys work...ok track 5 should be played before each and every storming of the ramparts... we lived through the shift of Indie into a genre that essentially produced demos for car commercials, which then begot the footstomp-folkrock for insurance commercials, and now no one knows how to drum any more in the indiesphere, they just keep 4/4, snare and hi-hat virtually gone, truly a desiccation scheme, a cardiac-repression regime, and the lockdown killing touring led to an explosion of fake bands on Spotify that have never played a gig in their life, a guy and a girl and a laptop like musical oil diffusers, like the way the New Age mental program has some points but essentially exists to de-politicize the otherwise-intelligent population into narcissizing all problems with their life, not identifying the class warfare they're suffering personally and on behalf of their fellow citizens, imagining that they can choose-their-own-adventure into a fulfilling life by managing their thinking and expectations and aspirations perfectly. 

This is the neoliberal training that subtly reinforces consumerism--the correct consumerism will solve your problems!  Your parents bought silly mass-market stuff!  They just accumulated things!  You are much wiser, your purchases reify what a clever lad or lass you are!  

At this point, anyone that remembers how to chuck a shoe at a ghoul  is worth their weight in gold.  

Our Iraq war (born 19 March 2021) is now 18 years old.  The quieter dismantling Libya (19 March 2011) is 10 years old. Syrian 'intervention' is a little fuzzier but 8 years ago it ramped up. Something fell regarding the Spring Equinox, some horrid blood offering 

chuck your Chucks my beautiful friends. 

Lancez vos chausseres vers vos ennemis!
