Marionette 12 Inch Vinyl

Available on standard weight 1234 Black vinyl, with poster insert.The rising sonic powerhouse039s new EP Marionette has been produced by Daniel Fox Sprints, Melts, Psychotic Monks, Naked Lungs, Nerves, Ronan Group and its set to be seminal. A set text for future musicians with aspirations of innovation. Opener Chocolate bounces in on a synth line as slippery and hyperactive as anything Aphex Twin ever cooked up. Crispy offbeat electronic cymbals play counterpoint to atonal guitars and pugilistic drumming before the track drywretches its way into a nauseating cacophony of euphoria. Its a tale of crippling social anxiety and a preference for an unflattering, lonely reality. The muted guitar pluck in the intro to Crows is the sonic equivalent of biting ones nails. An anxious, involuntary tic that speaks to the theme of guilt, especially surrounding digital culture children can watch what they please, just with viewer discretion. The track lurches between textures, weaving themselves in and out of focus. Guitars blare like sirens, interrupting paranoid urban centres at 2am, while the bass sounds like the inside of an insomniacs head on day four of a REM drought. The metallic intent of Discipline squats on the chest as though Steve Albini is your sleep paralysis demon. The pain of accountability spews from the industrial regularity of the beat, apt to the narrative of a soldier coming to terms with the lies that made him commit atrocious, violent acts. EP closer Servant starts like a Spectrum loading screen. Dialup modemcoded, it pauses for moments of whitenoisevomit and existential bloops. Fitting for a more abstract take on the idea of the power struggle filtered through religious imagery and selfawareness of ones own actions, coupled with an inability to exert control over them. The band pile on the textures with sadistic glee until the evil is exorcized and the modem melts. Connection severed.
