This album signifies a departure from the original rules and structures established by Margaret Chardiet forPharmakon, evolving into a new form. It retains the project’s experimental roots in power electronics and noise while incorporating industrial and punk influences.The album stems from a profound disgust with humanity’s dysfunctional relationship with the environment and other life forms. It explores the loneliness resulting from this broken bond and challenges us to acknowledge our personal and systemic responsibility.What peace can we make with privilege when the true cost of our comfort is not measured in dollars but in death? How can we reconcile with death when we impose the same hierarchical structures on it that we do in life? Is life worth living in the isolation of this self-imposed species loneliness?Humans often measure worth by accumulation—money, assets, objects—mistaking this for power and influence. Western heritage dictates a hierarchy, placing humans at the top, separate from the natural world. This delusion turns bodies into objects, land into property, and people into expend-able tools.If our value were instead determined by our contribution to the ecosystem, who could claim that a human is more valuable than a maggot? Maggots recycle death into life, breaking down matter and nourishing new growth. They transform into flies, pollinating plants and sustaining the Earth’s flora. In contrast, humans pollute rather than pollinate, with a select few profiting from exploita-tion at the expense of biodiversity and the well-being of many.In grappling with grief and loss on both personal and global scales, Margaret sought solace in the idea of rebirth through death, celebrating the beauty of regeneration through decay. However, she had to confront the stark reality of the disconnection from the earth under oppressive systems. Pharmakon is here imagining a path where the final act is to give back what was received from creation, offering our lives and deaths to sustain existence Artist Pharmakon Genre Electronica Label Sacred Bones Records Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Wither and Warp Methanol Doll Buyer’s Remorse Splendid Isolation Oiled Animals Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Pharmakon and more from Electronica View Product Quick View Pharmakon Contact – limited Coloured Vinyl Rock And Pop | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st March 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pharmakon Contact – limited Coloured Vinyl £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR175LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pharmakon Contact Rock And Pop | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP Released 31st March 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pharmakon Contact £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR175LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View 99Letters Kaibou Zukan Electronica | Disciples | 2LP Released 11th November 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 99Letters Kaibou Zukan £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Disciples SKU: DISC18 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View RP Boo Legacy Volume 2 Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th May 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders RP Boo Legacy Volume 2 £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ456 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thalassing Thalassing Electronica | Clay Pipe Music | 1LP Released 26th February 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thalassing Thalassing £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Clay Pipe Music SKU: PIPE002_02 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hot Chip Late Night Tales Electronica | Latenighttales | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd October 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hot Chip Late Night Tales £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Latenighttales SKU: ALNLP56 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brian Eno FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE Electronica | UMC | 1LP Released 14th October 2022 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Brian Eno FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: UMC SKU: 4801356 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Drexciya Harnessed The Storm Electronica | Tresor | 180g, 2LP Released 11th November 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Drexciya Harnessed The Storm £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Tresor SKU: TRESOR181LPX Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 11th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Groove Armada 21 Years Electronica | Demon Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 13th September 2019 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Groove Armada 21 Years £31.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Demon Records SKU: DEMREC459 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Richard Skelton These Charms May Be Sung Over A Wound Electronica | Phantom Limb | 2LP Released 26th September 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Skelton These Charms May Be Sung Over A Wound £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Phantom Limb SKU: PHNTM015LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fujiya & Miyagi Lightbulbs (Indie Only Yellow Vinyl) Electronica | IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS OF DESIRE | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th October 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fujiya & Miyagi Lightbulbs (Indie Only Yellow Vinyl) £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS OF DESIRE SKU: LPOBJ008LE Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Boards Of Canada Twoism Electronica | Warp | 1LP Released 18th November 2013 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Boards Of Canada Twoism £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP70R Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
