I really feel like this video ought to include a set off warning, so think about your self warned! Not as a result of DISCREET’s new video for “Bug in a Jar” is gory or violent. It’s as a result of this music seems like an onslaught of societal judgment about what makes us worthy to exist. Discreet is flipping over the rock and letting all of our painful reminiscences scurry out to discover a new hiding place. The vocals are plaintive and mournful simply as a lot as they’re scornful, they usually make me consider pals who fell off the rails of what’s acceptable and didn’t have the vitality to combat for his or her proper to be alive. The relentless but plodding drumbeat seems like different folks’s superficial expectations raining down heavy on my harm. The searing, dissonant riffs make me take into consideration self-cruelty, enablers, worry, ache. Discreet is killing me softly with this music, staring into the glass cage the place we put our wounded on show. It’s devoted to Duncan Knappen (10/01/1987 – 3/22/2022). Their new LP That is Mine is out now on Convulse Data — get it right here.
