about

It's a year later and everything has gone from bad to worse.

Machiavellian Art and Riot Season Records present "Population Control". A Sonic Examination of the Mechanisms of Control.
An intense exploration of societal and self-imposed controls, encapsulated in a dynamic contrast between Side A's visceral anger and the introspective ambiance of Side B. This duality mirrors the contrasting themes of external control versus internal reflection.

"Population Control" extends beyond its predecessor, "Indoctrination Sounds," in both musical depth and thematic scope. The album confronts a broad spectrum of modern-day addictions - not just to substances, but to technology, social media, and the relentless 24-hour news cycle. These themes manifest across tracks like "A Slow Death," "Population Control (1) + (2)," "Fear of the Outside World," and "Crisis," each exploring the resulting isolation, paranoia, fear, and hopelessness. "Seaside Holiday," a critique of environmental negligence, specifically highlighting the issue of untreated sewage being dumped into Britain's waterways by private companies.

Population Control was conceived at The Cellar Rooms, Wolverhampton, throughout 2022 and 2023 and recorded at Ian Boult's Stuck On A Name Studios in Nottingham in October 2023. Will Killingsworth mastered the record at Dead Air Studios.

Riot Season Records, the label behind this record, is celebrated for its commitment to avant-garde and boundary-pushing artists.

I'm having flashbacks to basement parties in the early 80s, and making out hardcore with Tammy Mauer. Man, were we baked and making out all the time, covered in denim and leather. mohaski
