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 Wolf Eyes Strange Days II Electronica | Lower Floor Music | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 11th August 2017 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wolf Eyes Strange Days II £11.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lower Floor Music SKU: LF002 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 11th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daphni (Caribou) Jiaolong Electronica | Jiaolong | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th October 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daphni (Caribou) Jiaolong £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Jiaolong SKU: JIAOLONG005LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jlin Akoma Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd March 2024 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jlin Akoma £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ460X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists feat.
