Disco II - Monomyth by La Petite Mort/Little Death

For fans of Parannoul, Brave Little Abacus, Your Arms Are My Cocoon, sasscore, and the scene you grew up in that doesn’t exist in the same way anymore, Disco II - Monomyth by La Petite Mort/Little Death takes a critical eye to the 2010s scene and sets the stage for something fundamentally different through their celebratory emo sound. Distilling the most bodily, most kinetic aspects from skramz, these tracks make the unusual emo move of taking us out of our own heads and directing our attention towards our communal will to dance. Lyrics which decry the narcissism of the digital age and poke fun at the prevalence of posers who attend shows to beef up their instagram grid directly challenge our tendency towards introspection, skipping past our endless self-analysis and asking the critical question of what we can bring to our scene. In an age of new authenticity, our musical communities deepen in meaning, bringing us along as we all find a beautiful and perfect purpose together.
