Album Notes & Community Reviews

Erika M. Anderson's third solo album delivers a stark, political examination of working-class alienation and the dystopian reality of Middle America. The tracking utilizes abrasive, overdriven drum machines and harsh guitar feedback, contrasting sharply with her vulnerable vocal delivery. The record acts as an urgent, industrial-tinged response to the rising socio-political tensions of the era.
