Badway by Sonic Jesus

No matter how well things are going for you, this creeping feeling of impending doom holds you in an unwelcome embrace, encouraging you to constantly broadcast your resilience to everyone around you. This complicated mix of impulses and emotions plays a major role in Badway by Sonic Jesus, an industrial record with sounds that settle in for minutes at a time but lyrics that only retain coherency by the stanza. Badway identifies vague threats to human wellbeing and responds with the equally scattered will to fight back, acknowledging the absurdly uphill battle that lies ahead to deal with issues of atomization, public health, and industry greed. A fighter facing this many enemies constantly pivots their stance, retaining nothing in the process but a constant, overwhelming, gritty anger.
