the decline of stupid fucking western civilization

A raw, sprawling, and deeply confessional concept album, 'the decline...' is a powerful and challenging work. The record is a lo-fi blend of sounds, moving from sparse, slowcore-esque intimacy to vast, apocalyptic post-rock crescendos. The lyrics are an unflinching and poetic exploration of queer and trans identity, trauma, and societal collapse, making for a difficult but ultimately essential listening experience.
