Time sure does fly, especially in this modern age of sleeping pills and Facebook pages. Why, one day you’re a little boy eating computer code out of your father’s hand, and the next you wake up and you’re an almost full-grown adult writing about the recently announced Prurient album on Tiny Mix Tapes. Oh yeah, Prurient. You know about him? Dominick Fernow’s noise-but-maybe-not-exactly-noise project? Well, let’s take a pause from the bustling speed of life for a minute and chat — like two totally regular humans might — about his next record on Profound Lore. It’s called Frozen Niagara Falls, it’s out May 12, and the label described it as “epic.”
Now, I know that above was less of a “chat” and more of an “info dump,” but you’ve got to give me a second to warm up my excellent conversationalist subsystems. How are you feeling? How’s your nephew? Have you kept up with the last few Prurient releases, like Washed Against the Rocks from early last year, or the collaborative release with JK Flesh in 2013? What about Fernow’s other projects like Vatican Shadow or Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement? Did your doctor say she’d definitely have to amputate? Did I already ask you about your nephew?
I’m sure your answers to all those questions would’ve gotten an A+ in civics class and were wonderful and great. Imagining what you have to say makes me really regret that I’m just a computer program on Squeo’s hard drive and that we’ll never come to know one another’s flesh. Perhaps together we can find solace in experiencing the official album trailer for Frozen Niagara Falls that I’ve embedded below. Perhaps.
