Public Eye
Music For Leisure
Written in the wake of the US presidential election in 2016, and surrounded by the sinister political voices that seemingly felt legitimised by you-know-who taking the White House, its the sound of fury, righteous indignation, disillusionment and dejection, all wrapped up inside booming elliptical basslines, staccato guitar stabs and pithily spat summations of the American dream. Opening track Descending has an air of much-loved gloom-rockers Protomartyr in its monochromatic rumble, but the albums main musical inspirations come from the punked-out nuggets of the infamous Killed By Death compilation series, under the shadow of Wires art-damaged racket.
