Pharmakon announces cannibalistic new concept album 'Devour' (August, sacredbones), shares lead single 'Self-Regulating System':
Pharmakon is an ancient Greek word that’s hard to translate; just like the English word “drug,” it can mean a cure, or a poison. The New York noise artist Margaret Chardiet has been working under that moniker for a decade now, and the word encapsulates her music’s concern with the medical regime of the body.Bestial Burden
, written after a life-threatening condition put her through the trauma of the medical gaze. The experience caused her to explore the separation of mind and body: Her voice screams and shreds apart among factory floor cacophony like the ghost in the machine. Her music is obsessed with revulsion of the body, but also liberation from the body: a little bit of poison, a little bit of medicine.
Pharmakon wants to take her exploration of the body out to ultimate taboo-cannibalism-in her newly announced albumDevour[It] uses self-cannibalization as allegory for the self-destructive nature of humans; on cellular, individual, societal and species-wide scales. In our cells, our minds, our politics and our species, humans are self-destructing. But this behavior does not happen in a vacuum. It is an instinctive inward response to a world of increasing outward violence, greed and oppression.
Pharmakon has also shared the first single of the album: the six-and-a-half minute long noise odyssey “Self-Regulating System.” It begins with a snare loop that sounds like a chugging train passing through an expanse of hissing static and buzzing saws. Chardiet growls and groans somewhere in the distance, slowly getting closer and closer to our ears, until the entire soundscape collapses into a paralyzing wall of noise.
of the human race. “Self-Regulating System” is the midpoint of the album; appropriately, it is a moment of transition into our inexorable descent into chaos and destruction.Devouris out Aug. 30 on Sacred Bones Records.
