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 Various Artists Heavenly Remixes 3 – Andrew Weatherall Volume 1 Electronica | Heavenly | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th January 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Heavenly Remixes 3 – Andrew Weatherall Volume 1 £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP190 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gazelle Twin Black Dog Electronica | Invada | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th October 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gazelle Twin Black Dog £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Invada SKU: INV305LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hannah Peel Fir Wave Electronica | My Own Pleasure | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th March 2021 £ Select options Hannah Peel Fir Wave £ Genre: Electronica Label: My Own Pleasure Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Clark Totems Flare Electronica | Warp | Miscellaneous Released 8th July 2009 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clark Totems Flare £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP185 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 8th July 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Brewis Blow Dry Colossus Electronica | Daylight Saving Records | 1LP Released 22nd September 2023 £21.00 - £22.00 Select options Peter Brewis Blow Dry Colossus £21.00 - £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Daylight Saving Records Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Underworld DRIFT Series 1 Sampler Edition Electronica | Caroline International | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st November 2019 £23.00 Select options Underworld DRIFT Series 1 Sampler Edition £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Caroline International Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Select options On Sale View Product Quick View JARV IS REMIX ED Electronica | Rough Trade | 2LP Released 26th November 2021 £12.99 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations JARV IS REMIX ED £12.99 £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Rough Trade SKU: RT0267LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th November 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Recoil Liquid Electronica | Mute | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th September 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Recoil Liquid £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: STUMM173 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pole Tempus Remixes Electronica | Mute | 12", Single Released 24th November 2023 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pole Tempus Remixes £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE661 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andrew Hung An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn OST Electronica | Lex Records | 2LP Released 14th December 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Hung An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn OST £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lex Records SKU: LEX133LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th December 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
