about

The four songs on Purity Test Demos lament the perils of left wing circular firing squads, the creeping global epidemic of social media brainworms, our suicidal economic growth paradigms, and gentrification as an outgrowth of colonialism and manifest destiny. The music draws from goth, industrial, and crust punk, with layers of noisy guitar and synth, coldly mechanical analog drum machines, and echo-laden vocal bellows. Urgent music for urgent times.
