The idea of primitivism and as an extreme metaphoric extension, asceticism has always been a sore point for me ideologically. It is easy to discuss the explosion of civilization, social collapse and erasure of humanity as something positive, but until that happens and the earth either implodes or swallows us whole as a punchline to a really long, bad joke, we are going to have to deal with each other to get anything done. The primitivist line of thought, just like the early ascetics and hermits escaping from worldly problems by hiding from them, has the same productive efficacy it did 1,500 years ago: absolutely none.
lyrics
it’s not something I would recommend
but it is one way to live
the ascetic answer of passive removal isn’t an answer at all you’re no Antony or Benedict crying in a cave
the denial of connection is disingenuous
because being born is painful
and you may wade through the streams of others’ delusions the languid seed of self-exile never yielded solutions
I don't mean to be a "first albums only" elitist or anything of the sort since I didn't even discover these guys til maybe a year and change ago, but truth be told- the demo tracks are my favorites despite Deafheaven's undeniable growth and evolution into a broader sort of awesome. satangutsandchristcorpsepaint
Agreed with Dima1979 this is a fucking Gem. A platinum grade beauty that is going to hold the test of time.
I’ll never bore of this album it’s so diverse in style per minute it’s almost schizophrenic.
It also has a pair of tits on the cover! What the fuck more you need… Tell Ya Fucking Story Walking…
Punk rock has gone stale with kids trying to relive a generation they were never part of, while Dangers try's to break free from the generic reproduction of radio friendly punk immacculate_vibes
