PREMIERE: Parrish Smith - STRENGTH (Dekmantel) by THE BRVTALIST published on 2022-05-15T08:41:21Z The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Parrish Smith. "STRENGTH" comes off the artist's new LP, Light, Cruel & Vain, coming out May 16th on Dekmantel. Light Cruel & Vain was developed over the course of nearly three years, following nearly a decade of individual experimentation. Where on the one hand, LC&V reflects an inward pilgrimage (aka Parrish Smith facing the world and Parrish Smith facing Parrish Smith), the project simultaneously reflects the birth and growth of a band. Each track on the record is originally based on a solo idea, moulded and fine-tuned in conversation with contributing musicians Sofiane Brahmi and Javier Vivancos, then finalized by the producer. "STRENGTH" also features vocals by Cardinal & Nun and Sofiane Brahmi on guitar. The result is a 11 tracks that weave through a mosh pit of styles and slip through cracks and fall outside the lines of punk, techno, metal, grunge, no wave, industrial and beyond. A true "compilation of imperfect music", be prepared to be entranced, enthralled and maybe even slightly uncomfortable - but in a way that challenges the current musical paradigm and shifts to much broader horizons. Out May 16th on vinyl and digital. Get yours at: https://parrishsmithdekmantel.bandcamp.com/album/light-cruel-vain @dekmantel Comment by ASOA XXX2.55555 Parrish on his way 2022-05-15T11:32:04Z
