Abandon

by Pharmakon

supported by

Anathe Mal Like being trapped among the cenobites, dragged deep into your emotional core, then tenderly raked over the coals splayed wide for all to see. Favorite track: Sour Sap.

alvarfj Harsh noise- romanticism, is that a thing? Well, it is now. Despite the unforgiving, punishing thumps, squelching noise and blood-curling screams, this is a very human album, with a deeply felt emotional core. Favorite track: Milkweed/It Hangs Heavy.

kynge I offer all to you mother. Guide my will to never fade in interference Favorite track: Pitted.

about

Margaret Chardiet was born and raised in New York City. As a founding member of the Red Light District collective in Far Rockaway, NY she has been a figurehead in the underground experimental scene since the age of seventeen. She points out that the environment there amongst so many other experimental artists (amongst them Yellow Tears & Haflings) inspired her to keep making increasingly challenging work. She describes her drive to make noise music as something akin to an exorcism where she is able to express, her “deep-seated need/drive/urge/possession to reach other people and make them FEEL something [specifically] in uncomfortable/confrontational ways.” Engineered by Sean Ragon of Cult of Youth at his self-built recording studio Heaven Street, Abandon is Pharmakon’s first proper studio album and also her first widely distributed release.
