I blogged about CROSSPARTY nearly one year ago, and they’re finally back with a fantastically rambunctious, 6 song EP entitled FANG. It’s boisterous witch rave - an apocalyptic rave set. Booming, thumping, distorted basslines and banshee-esque vocals compliment the corrupted, fuzzy instrumentation. Beautifully brutal, cacophonous yet mellifluous - FANG has become probably one of the best EPs I’ve heard this year.

Listen and download the phenomenal set here:

Fri, 24 May 2013 09:25:25 -0700

Unable to create what we so desperately wanted to attain, I sought out the only possible outcome I could think of. I would sever the disease festering inside - the growing, spreading ailment which would certainly be the downfall of humanity. A keepsake of our junction - that tumultuous, terrible union which only served as fuel for your transformation. I was haunted by the constant imagery; the horrible, vehemently, vapid expression you held on your face - flesh-flecked nails which would break and bruise my skin - crimson lips parted slightly - seemed to stain my dreams and waking thoughts. And as time slowed to a halt, and my speech decided to cease, I began to etch out the desistance like a sanguineous blueprint. Arduous architect.

You had accepted my silence as a form of agreement - that no matter what was said and done, I would go along with your malicious, rancorous nature. I stood by and observed the growing number of cuts and bruises on your hands, the hint of frown lines clandestinely forming on your face, the names scratched off in your notebooks; your daily enterprise composed a trail of what was surely to be your demise. And as I began to sketch out your grand finale, I could feel the elation transforming my once meek and timid countenance. Discordant denouement - cruel coda - all in the name of righteous devotion.

One of my favorite songs of the year, “Bo Peep (Do You Right)”, got a fantasticly addicting nightcore treatment by BLK SMK and I’m beyond obsessed. I don’t have much to say about this track other than, like the original, this will be on repeat without pause.

One year ago, I blogged about SOMADAMANTINA and I’ve been waiting ever since for her return. Luckily, she’s back with the vexing/hypnotic, “If you want bil·lietes”. Her flow, on the hook, transforms into an uptalk - like begging a question - and then falls back into a languid censure. Fantastic.

Wed, 08 May 2013 13:55:18 -0700

Surrounded by our vacant words, cloaked in broken promises - we rest - exposed and tortured. You had adorned my chest in your essence - a representation of all that was fleeting. Phrases, our temporary adoration, carried on the humid and musty air, until they no longer existed. Stinging, spiteful, sorrowful soliloquies mixed with loving caresses and warm woe. And with that final acknowledgement - that last exhausted breath of determination - we collapsed delicately upon ourselves.

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 09:00:21 -0700

I was left alone - in the absence of light - with nothing but your compassionate words. Your scent still lingered wildly mixing with the taste of flesh that remained in my mouth. Scattered around my bedside were remnants of the night before - a mix of material, gore, and expectations - a testament of my insatiable, unwavering being. What forces had I summoned to execute such wanton destruction? How could I have been so careless - so comfortable - as to reveal my identity? Paralyzed, I could do nothing but fixate on the remains before me. A cadaverous garland blossoming lovingly at my feet. Anthropophaginian anchorite. Savage solitary suitor.

And once we reached that acknowledgement, unspoken understanding, everything suddenly seemed luminous. Your eyes dilated - enormous murky pools of lust - canines glimmered with drool against the stretched flesh of your cracked lips. Sheer unbridled ecstasy - enamored voracious, companion.

Eager for rapture, I melted into the soil beneath me. I could feel the weight of your body pressing against me - pushing me further into the wet earth. Your hands explored my flesh - pulling, caressing, pinching - no longer could I differentiate your skin and mine. Lips parted, eyes closed, I began to exhale all the inner daemons located, clandestine, within my core. My jaws clicked and teeth clacked violently - hiccuping and purging all the specters I once indulged. Tears rolled down my shaking cheeks as I retched and hurled curses in a different, foreign tongue. And there you remained, steadfast in your determination to rid me of my visitors, until I had no strength left to contest.

Cloaked in a narcotic fog, our drenched bodies began to move in unison. As I exhaled, you would inhale - steadily pulling my breath in. Our sense of urgency increased as our limbs snaked and twisted. We wanted nothing more than to become one with every sound, every movement with one other. Amongst the congregation, the devoted obsequious many, we were overcome with fervor. Jerking. Spiraling. Flowing. And as the devotees grew in number, the closer we became. Elevated and euphoric. Uplifted and united.

I convinced myself that if I closed my eyes, I could forever capture this monumental occasion. Covered in a warm crimson sheet of your being, I nuzzled perfectly between your neck and chin. Inhaling your scent, I beamed with pride. My hands, tracing the lines of your clavicle, your chin, your lips - etching out a mental map that I would never forget. Your breath, staggered and shallow, began to rattle as I anointed myself - adorning my flesh in a gory baptism. You began to sputter - a fluttering incoherent plea of finality that was ignored. And as I gently lay your arm across my back, full of slack, I could feel your life escape your body. Glorious expiration suspended in your youth. Relinquished.

And as if you were going to release me from this worldly constriction, you raised your arms high and proud past your tilted head. Mouth agape, you smiled, exposing your teeth - sharpened and glistening with drool. Your tender pale skin adorned with sweat like dew. I no longer felt the need to run from your exotic enchantment. Intoxicated by your movements, I began to realize I was now more than ravenous. Oh, how I yearned to taste your every being - to feel your flesh rip across my lips and in between my teeth. Hungry. Voracious. Insatiable. Covetous.

Infatuated with the grotesque - the knowing nod to all that is forbidden. Exposure, modification, an alteration of all that is concealed - this simile of sensualism turned aberrant. Subtle undulating sounds bob between advertisement of an agenda. Spitfire intent.

Leavingscene possess this rare ability to hear a track and instantly KNOW, truly know, that I will adore it - his radar has never once been off. When he directed me over to °Lhasa with the comment of this “channeled you so hard”, I instantly stopped what I was listening to.

Everything about this track is just perfection. The booming bass, the undulating sounds, the pitch shifted vocals - it has the power to make your surroundings come to a complete standstill.

After a few seconds, the realization hit - this is the perfect embodiment. Street lamps became slightly brighter. Pedestrians slightly slower while the traffic of the city froze - static.

As the track progressed, it became hard to not become engulfed in the near-clandestine snaps and the submerging samples. And once it gently glided to a finish, all I could was hit repeat.

And he was so dead on - this IS me.

As you were unprepared to accept the separation, I, ignoring your pleas, slowly began to chip away at bone. Your eyes, swollen with sorrow and tears, rolled far back in your head. The whites of your eyes, exposed and lunar, glistened while I continuously chiseled; determined for completion. This detachment was necessary - divorcing your noxious constitution - removal of decaying cartilage. Corrupted countenance.

And as I felt your hand upon the small of my back - correcting and pushing - reshaping my very spine - I recognized the sensation of every vertebrae aligning perfectly. Muscles would contract with tension as I could feel every fiber working towards one common goal. Words of affirmation and scolding would escape your lips as I fell back into the movement. Pulling and pushing. Pivoting. Relinquishing.

A welcome acceptance - a finality that is warranted - as we head into a terrain unexplored. While I have never truly asked for your help, I always welcomed your assistance. Your words, comforting and flowy, would find their way towards my direction. And if I tried to turn a deaf ear, you made sure I would overhear your guided musings. Although you are physically absent your presence can always be felt everywhere I wander. Comforting cohort.
