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 Baauer Planet’s Mad Electronica | Lucky Me | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st July 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Baauer Planet’s Mad £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lucky Me SKU: LM066LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cardopusher New Cult Fear Electronica | Boysnoize | 2LP Released 14th July 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cardopusher New Cult Fear £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Boysnoize SKU: BNR169 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View JARV IS House Music All Night Long Electronica | Rough Trade | 12", Single Released 27th March 2020 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders JARV IS House Music All Night Long £8.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Rough Trade SKU: RT0124T Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 27th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Subjective Act One – Music For Inanimate Objects Electronica | Sony Music CMG | 2LP Released 11th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Subjective Act One – Music For Inanimate Objects £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sony Music CMG SKU: 19075871781 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royksopp Senior Electronica | Cooking Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th October 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royksopp Senior £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: DOG022X Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Howling Colure Electronica | Counter Records | 2LP Released 24th July 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Howling Colure £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Counter Records SKU: COUNT213 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Range, The Mercury Electronica | Domino | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th June 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Range, The Mercury £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP412 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vök In the Dark Electronica | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 1st March 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vök In the Dark £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Nettwerk SKU: 0067003118415 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mike Francis Let’s Not Talk About This Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th July 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Francis Let’s Not Talk About This £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2440 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pattern Forms, The Peel Away The Ivy Electronica | Ghost Box | 180g, 1LP Released 19th October 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pattern Forms, The Peel Away The Ivy £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ghost Box SKU: GBX027LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
