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 Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) Electronica | Kranky | 1LP Released 21st December 2011 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kranky SKU: KRANK161LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Olafur Arnalds some kind of peace Electronica | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 6th November 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olafur Arnalds some kind of peace £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mercury KX SKU: 734832 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Photay Windswept Electronica | Mexican Summer | 1LP Released 20th September 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Photay Windswept £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mexican Summer SKU: MEX3351 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE Electronica | Mute | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE653 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Quantic Apricot Morning Electronica | Tru Thoughts | 2LP Released 28th August 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quantic Apricot Morning £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Tru Thoughts SKU: TRULP034 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fatboy Slim Better Living Through Chemistry Electronica | Skint | 2LP Released 20th November 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fatboy Slim Better Living Through Chemistry £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Skint SKU: BRASSIC002LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Deer Tracks Aurora Electronica | Despotz Records | 1LP Released 8th July 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Deer Tracks Aurora £8.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Despotz Records SKU: nn290112 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th July 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View MEDUZA MEDUZA Electronica | Island | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th November 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders MEDUZA MEDUZA £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Island SKU: 5592213 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Suzanne Ciani Lixiviation Electronica | Finders Keepers | 1LP Released 20th July 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suzanne Ciani Lixiviation £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Finders Keepers SKU: FKR053LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carmen Villain Only Love From Now On Electronica | Smalltown Supersound | 1LP Released 1st April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Carmen Villain Only Love From Now On £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Smalltown Supersound SKU: STS399 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
