Machiavellian Art - Population Control LP
The second album by Midlands based Machiavellian Art is nearly upon us.
'Population Control' is it's name, and it's ferocious.
In their own words "It's a year later and everything has gone from bad to worse" And they're not wrong are they? A Sonic Examination of the Mechanisms of Control.
An intense exploration of societal and self-imposed controls, encapsulated in a dynamic contrast between Side A's visceral anger and the introspective ambiance of Side B. This duality mirrors the contrasting themes of external control versus internal reflection. "Population Control" extends beyond its predecessor, "Indoctrination Sounds," in both musical depth and thematic scope. The album confronts a broad spectrum of modern-day addictions - not just to substances, but to technology, social media, and the relentless 24-hour news cycle.
Full volume recommended.
