THE SILENT RECORD

by ESCAPE-ISM

supported by

none of your goddam business After an act of selfless self-cancellation Ian Svenonius returns with a most urgent and anthemic critique of Western European Cultural Hegemony. Via Georges Bataille’s notion of informe, THE SILENT RECORD introduces a radical dialectal strategy for dismantling all preconceived structures of oppression by restoring music (perhaps even language itself) back to its original a priori form—before it became a mere vehicle for phatic expression. THE SILENT RECORD is truly an anthem for a woke nation.
Favorite track: Everyone Has Left Paris.
