Lifeless Pioneers: Po$t American
DL
Out Now
One other welcome bristling assault on the American dream from Lifeless Pioneers.
Lifeless Pioneers are a favorite at Louder Than Struggle, their debut making it into our high albums of 2024. We’re stoked that their second album Po$t American might be launched on eleventh April on Problem Data. Assessment to observe quickly.
In the meantime the title observe Po$t American is out as a single now and couldn’t be extra on level. The music nearly takes a again seat in order to not intrude which backs up Gregg Deal’s strident polemic. Musically it’s a gradual rhythmic plod with maybe a nod to Lard whereas a brief quick center eight is extra within the vein of jerky hardcore perfected by the likes of Minutemen. As we’ve come to count on Gregg holds up a mirror to white Amerikkka. Though written 6 months in the past on “White individuals’s day of Independence, July 4, 2024” it actually captures the temper underneath the brand new President, making it extremely topical in a manner that’s harking back to Lifeless Kennedys, DOA and Crass within the 80s. Right here’s only a snatch – the road “All of the white of us get a clear slate” may so simply be in regards to the latest pardoning of the sixth January rioters.
“Have a good time white independence, it’s nice
All of the white of us get a clear slate
Freedom bought as the most recent elixir
‘merican white not an ethnic mixer
A rustic constructed on genocide
Wrestle with the details, don’t run and conceal
Units a tone for us countrywide
Blind nationalism, American delight”
As Gregg himself says “Though we didn’t count on the political relevance to grow to be extra related, we’ve got no illusions to the American dream, or to the place we appear to be going. However we’ve got hope that we are able to get to a greater place for individuals to have what they want.”
In all probability probably the most constructive response to the brand new President I’ve heard.
