After an act of selfless self-cancellation Ian Svenonius returns with a most urgent and anthemic critique of Western European Cultural Hegemony. Via Georges Bataille’s notion of informe, THE SILENT RECORD introduces a radical dialectal strategy for dismantling all preconceived structures of oppression by restoring music (perhaps even language itself) back to its original a priori form—before it became a mere vehicle for phatic expression. THE SILENT RECORD is truly an anthem for a woke nation.

The most perfect album ever recorded; flawless from beginning to end.

if the world were truly a just and righteous place, The Melvins would be more famous than lady ga ga or kanye west.
