Modern Journal Of Popular Savagery

Porest's fourth or fifth long-player, "Modern Journal of Popular Savagery" is a damning collection of parallel realities told in song and sound. Following 2006's masterful "Tourrorists", MJoPS pits post-globalized hate pop, cabalistic text-to-speech drama and violent tape music against soapbox anthems and swirling barbed-wire psychedelia - sometimes within the same track. The result: a terrifying and ridiculous audio shakedown that both avoids and completely indulges the inherent trappings of art and politics. Fuzzed out guitars and keyboards, epic modulated grooves, "samples" and far-out fucking field recordings index the colonization of our consciousness. You're already dead - and none of your intellectual friends can save you. Guests include Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Peter Conheim (Negativland), and Jake Rodriguez (Bran…Pos). Recorded in California, Syria, Vietnam and points in between.
