12" LP · (Anthems of the Undesirable / Divergent Series)

Not merely a shoehorned-noise-into-hardcore-exercise, Voyeurism lurches through roughly 18 minutes of industrial-begrimed noise rock hammerings. Bass and drums are hemmed together solidly with drum machines, synths and other implements, intersected by a collection of purloined field recording moments blurring the lines between audience and voyeur. This transmission is total sabotage of the ostensible. Hope you were listening.

"There are two broad thrusts to this release, the first is that art that attempts to depict an honest social reality through suffering and poverty is exploitation, no different from any other type of exploitation, and in attempting to portray a version of truth the artist only obscures their motivations of capitalizing on other's existences.

"The second aspect is that artists whose alienation is realized through lazy nihilism do not have any great insight into the human condition and would do well to remember that their gaze is returned.

"As a society we demand the poor and oppressed display their humanity and shame for us in order to be redeemed through pity, distanced socially conscious art is one mechanism that supports this way of thinking."
