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 Floating Points Reflections – Mojave Desert Electronica | Pluto | 1LP, Includes DVD Released 30th June 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Floating Points Reflections – Mojave Desert £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Pluto SKU: RE1LP Formats: 1LP, Includes DVD Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grid & Robert Fripp, The Leviathan Electronica | Panegyric | 200g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th June 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grid & Robert Fripp, The Leviathan £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Panegyric SKU: DGMLPX102 Formats: 200g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blanck Mass In Ferneaux Electronica | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th February 2021 £20.00 Select options Blanck Mass In Ferneaux £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sacred Bones Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th February 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Critical Mass Hardcore Legends Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Critical Mass Hardcore Legends £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3531C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gazelle Twin & NYX Deep England Electronica | NYX Collective Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th March 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gazelle Twin & NYX Deep England £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: NYX Collective Records SKU: NYX003LPG Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Copeland Trogg Modal, Vol 1 (Remixes) Electronica | DFA | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 3rd May 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Copeland Trogg Modal, Vol 1 (Remixes) £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: DFA SKU: DFA2639LP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 3rd May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View S U R V I V E RR7387 Electronica | Relapse | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 10th November 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders S U R V I V E RR7387 £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Relapse SKU: 0781676738717 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 10th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lorenzo Senni Scacco Matto Electronica | Warp | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th April 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lorenzo Senni Scacco Matto £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP311 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sasha Airdrawndagger Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th June 2023 £46.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sasha Airdrawndagger £46.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2585S Formats: 180g, 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Delia Derbyshire and Elsa Stansfield Circle of Light (Original Electronic Soundtrack) Electronica | Trunk | 1LP Released 28th October 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Delia Derbyshire and Elsa Stansfield Circle of Light (Original Electronic Soundtrack) £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Trunk SKU: JBH061LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
