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 Ben Hauke Only Old Electronica | Far Out Records | 1LP Released 3rd August 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Hauke Only Old £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Far Out Records SKU: JD43 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lou Canon Suspicious Electronica | Paper Bag | 1LP Released 7th April 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lou Canon Suspicious £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Paper Bag SKU: PAPER107LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 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 Essaie Pas New Path Electronica | DFA | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 16th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Essaie Pas New Path £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: DFA SKU: DFA2567 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jon Hassell Psychogeography [Zones Of Feeling] Electronica | Ndeya | 2LP Released 17th February 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Hassell Psychogeography [Zones Of Feeling] £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ndeya SKU: NDEYA9LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Various No Speak Sampler Electronica | IRS No Speak | 1LP Released 3rd November 2021 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Various No Speak Sampler £8.00 Genre: Electronica Label: IRS No Speak SKU: nn232623 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd November 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Hundred In The Hands, The The Hundred In The Hands Electronica | Warp | 1LP Released 15th September 2010 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hundred In The Hands, The The Hundred In The Hands £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP193 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Caravan Palace Caravan Palace Electronica | MVKA | 180g, 2LP Released 24th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Caravan Palace Caravan Palace £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: MVKA SKU: 0190296979668 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Squarepusher Presents Shobaleader One: dDemonstrator Electronica | Warp | 2LP Released 18th October 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Squarepusher Presents Shobaleader One: dDemonstrator £13.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP196 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royksopp Senior Electronica | Dog Triumph | 1LP Released 7th December 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royksopp Senior £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dog Triumph SKU: DOG22 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th December 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
