Study of a Dead End by The Mad Laboratory of Anti-Matter
For fans of Caroline, Throbbing Gristle, Lolina, experimental jazz, and the transformation of our deepest desires into an imposing colossus, Study of a Dead End by The Mad Laboratory of Anti-Matter mixes free improvisation with the most extreme sound of prefabricated electronica to create a towering industrial display of human creativity. Seemingly every imposing structure in our environment exists solely to dominate us, to strip us of personhood. From glass apartment highrises charging tens of thousands of dollars in rent to data centers harvesting our water, energy, and souls in return for absolutely nothing, these marvels of steel and concrete watch over us from the top down rather than elevating us to their heights. In the construction of an equally gargantuan structure, The Mad Laboratory of Anti-Matter invites the hardest-hitting of bass-heavy synthesizers, combined with sporadic digital noise to capture both the raw power and haunting liminality of the megastructure. However, in this structure the human lives on, speaking out through abstract vocals and improvised jazz to claim victory over the machine, giving us a blueprint to accomplishing the same.
