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 Deadly Avenger Everyday Is Kill Electronica | Death Waltz Originals | 180g, 1LP Released 1st December 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deadly Avenger Everyday Is Kill £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Death Waltz Originals SKU: DWO23 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flying Lotus Yasuke Electronica | Warp | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 24th September 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flying Lotus Yasuke £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP334 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crystal Method, The Vegas – 20th Anniversary Edition Electronica | UMC | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd November 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crystal Method, The Vegas – 20th Anniversary Edition £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: UMC SKU: 5758853 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Propellerheads Decksandrumsandrockandroll (20th Anniversary Edition) Electronica | Wall Of Sound | 2LP Released 12th June 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Propellerheads Decksandrumsandrockandroll (20th Anniversary Edition) £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Wall Of Sound SKU: WALLLPN015 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jill Fraser Earthly Pleasures Electronica | Drag City | 2LP Released 27th September 2024 £35.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Jill Fraser Earthly Pleasures £35.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Drag City SKU: DC919 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th September 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Helena Hauff Living With Ladybirds Electronica | Fabric Worldwide | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 11th November 2022 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Helena Hauff Living With Ladybirds £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Fabric Worldwide SKU: FRO003 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 11th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Autechre Confield Electronica | Warp | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th February 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Autechre Confield £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP128R Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skinny Puppy Cleanse Fold and Manipulate Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 26th October 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skinny Puppy Cleanse Fold and Manipulate £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Nettwerk SKU: 0067003001113 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drab Majesty Unknown To The I Electronica | Dais | 12", 45rpm, Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 21st May 2021 £14.00 - £16.00 Select options Drab Majesty Unknown To The I £14.00 - £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dais Formats: 12", 45rpm, Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 21st May 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Speedy J Ginger Electronica | Warp | 2LP Released 10th November 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Speedy J Ginger £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP14R Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
