about

A collection of demos with no overdubs. All tracks recorded in one session on April 9th, 2023. All arrangements my own.

The title is a reference to the fever pitch of apocalyptic warnings we are inundated by in recent years, which has begun to register to me as a collective desire by a permanent class of debtors that there will be a spectacular economic collapse. This is what I want to make art about; the ideology of my pious youth intersecting with the ideology of my angsty adolescence; a desperate, perhaps misplaced, very human sense of hope.

"Humanity's self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order." - Walter Benjamin

"The rubbish of history is not so easily discarded and ‘progressive’ revolutionary movements have often been, in essence, form and aim, the continuation of religion by other means. As an example, the belief that universal peace and beauty would be reached through apocalyptic tumults of blood and fire (revolution/the millennium/the collapse) indicates firmly that as an enlightenment ideology, Anarchism has been heavily burdened by its Euro-Christian origins. John Gray was talking about Marxism when he said it was a '...a radical version of the enlightenment belief in progress — itself a mutation of Christian hopes... [Following] Judaism and Christianity in seeing history as a moral drama, that’s last act is salvation.'" -- Anonymous, "Desert"

"Clean Slate debt cancellations (the Jubilee Year), used in Babylonia since Hammurabi’s dynasty, first appear in the Bible in Leviticus 25. Jesus’s first sermon announced that he had come to proclaim it. This message – more than other religious claims – is what threatened his enemies, and why he was put to death."
-- From Michael Hudson's website

"To take Jesus and to take jubilee seriously means we have to look at a different kind of political economy."
-- Angela Cowser of the Institute for Christian Socialism
