Pharmakon - Abandon - Sb 15 Year Edition - Black White & Orange Starburst (Vinyl)

Margaret Chardiet was born and raised in New York City. As a founding member of the Red Light District collective in Far Rockaway, NY she has been a figurehead in the underground experimental scene since the age of seventeen. Shedescribes her drive to make noise music as something akin to an exorcism whereshe is able to express, her "deep-seated need/drive/urge/possession to reach otherpeople and make them FEEL something [specifically] in uncomfortable/confrontational ways." Engineered by Sean Ragon of Cult of Youth, Abandon isPharmakon's first proper studio album and also her first widely distributedrelease.The songs on this album were all written and recorded during a turbulent threemonth time period during which several fundamental life changes forced her tobegin living in a completely new way and in a new space. She describes the lyricalthemes of this album as being about "Loss. Losing everything. Relinquishingcontrol. Complete psychic abandon. Blind leaps of faith into the fire, walking outunscathed. Crawling out of the pit."Sacred Bones is now repressing this legendary debut on colour vinyl for the veryfirst time in celebration of the label's 15th year anniversary.
