about

Yard Sale for World Peace is grateful to facilitate the newest release from legendary olympia / los angeles group DEFACEMAN. This band is fearless! Various past iterations of DEFACEMAN have made me think of power violence, wall of sound electronics, royal truxisms, hardcore, proletarian poetry, maybe continuing the spiritual tradition of the Situationists, shreds videos (youtube.com), non-aligned punk, I’m not totally sure. Well, the hashtags have never felt so far away, especially after laughing and raging and bobbing my head cruising around Olympia doing errands listening to this new DEFACEMAN tape. It takes some bravery to cross to the other side but it’s alive over here. It’s a dimension I appreciate spending time in. Enchanting, heavy, funny, and money doesn’t exist, and there’s lots of philosophical gum and everyone’s chewing.

This release takes the genre non-alignment game to another realm of DGAF. Fractal truths dance and shred through sheets of distortion from the other side of the curtain, then it’s impassioned acapella singing, then it’s an old fashioned punk song, then it’s brutal drum machines, then it’s base-jumping into autotuned power electronic drone embroidered with extremely beautiful thoughts from the future. Really patient and expressive, and also really down to Earth. And under the Earth. Makes you want to jam.

This band channels freedom in this way where, when we jammed it on the home stereo it resulted in me and some friends playing dress-up in the living room and inventing new colors. Some of the most obscene static and peaking distorted sounds shapeshift in front of you, suddenly they appear like menacing sculptures that we found while tripping after the next nuclear war. It’s a really beautiful process to participate in, when we give ourselves enough courage to sit with the intensity and the vibrancy of all the noise, and discover the sculptures aren’t menacing at all. They’re more like, fun to climb on and surf down and tumble through and be friends with. Alice sounds kinda like the singer from The Cars when she belts out “When I leave you a voicemail- I hope it ends up in one o’ your songs- like how the way you make me feel ends up in my poems.” And I really felt that. -Travis
