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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Shamen, The En-Tact Electronica | One Little Independent | 2LP, 45rpm Released 14th March 2024 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Shamen, The En-Tact £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: One Little Independent SKU: nn282738 Formats: 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 14th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Soul Jazz Records Presents Deutsche Elektronische Musik 2: Experimental German Rock And Electronic Music 1971-83 (Record B) Electronica | Soul Jazz | 180g, 2LP Released 29th July 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Soul Jazz Records Presents Deutsche Elektronische Musik 2: Experimental German Rock And Electronic Music 1971-83 (Record B) £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP494-B Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Justice Viewpoints Electronica | Hydrogen Dukebox | 2LP Released 27th August 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Justice Viewpoints £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Hydrogen Dukebox SKU: DUKE211DJV Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kruder & Dorfmeister Kruder & Dorfmeister DJ Kicks Electronica | !K7 Recordings | 2LP Released 15th May 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kruder & Dorfmeister Kruder & Dorfmeister DJ Kicks £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: !K7 Recordings SKU: K7046LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View BadBadNotGood Mid Spiral Electronica | XL Recordings | 2LP Released 25th October 2024 £25.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders BadBadNotGood Mid Spiral £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: XL Recordings SKU: XL1450LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th October 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Tim Friese-Greene (Talk Talk) Short-Haired Domestic Electronica | Calcium Chloride | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Friese-Greene (Talk Talk) Short-Haired Domestic £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Calcium Chloride SKU: CaCl008LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chrystabell & David Lynch Cellophane Memories Electronica | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd August 2024 £27.00 - £28.00 Select options Chrystabell & David Lynch Cellophane Memories £27.00 - £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sacred Bones Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd August 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View DJ Bone Black Market EP Electronica | Fabric Worldwide | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 21st October 2022 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DJ Bone Black Market EP £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Fabric Worldwide SKU: FRO002 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 21st October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gabe Gurnsey Physical Electronica | Phantasy Sound | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd August 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gabe Gurnsey Physical £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Phantasy Sound SKU: PHLP10 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ekoplekz Bioprodukt Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP Released 1st February 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ekoplekz Bioprodukt £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ386 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 1st February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
