assassin of our proletarian minds Favorite track: should (ft. Dezmo).

Maxine I feel like I'm listening to late night tv in the 80s or 90s. Pretty cool. Would love to own the cassette. Favorite track: megachurch.

Jean-Paul DuQuette Lo-fi plunderphonics media collage. Like listening to late night TV in the late '80s from the next room with your head under the blankets desperately trying to escape into sleep from a fast approaching migraine. Favorite track: gateway.

about

"I spent my time drinking and staring at a television in the airport bar. More death and destruction. Crime. Pollution. All the news stories were telling me to be frightened. All the commercials were telling me to buy things I didn’t need. The message was that people could only be passive victims or consumers." -John Twelve Hawks

"What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish." -W. H. Auden

"Don’t hate the media, become the media." -Jello Biafra

OSCOB's full-length debut "Eating Yourself Alive" is a plunderphonic collage of noise that evokes flickering TV screens and late-night insomnia. Waves of tape hiss swell between angular lo-fi loops and bizarre soundscapes through 23 tracks of nightmareish sample work.

As haunting and hypnotizing as going through the MGS series in release order and growing more and more captivated by the fandom's fabled Venom Snake without knowing a single thing about him. No, but seriously, this album is a work of art to transport you far, far away, an idea that draws you into the abstract. quietis
