Prurient & Kevin Drumm — We are all guests in the house of the lord

One of  the most compelling & clever things about We are all guests in the house of  the lord is you can interpret the emotionally searing material with-in from several angles. It can be seen as a statement of decline of a once great civilisation or a personal and mental decline- the clever thing is they let you add your own angle and interruption on to it.

The tracks simmer with either brooding intensity and murderous knife edge implications built from grey shifting tones, field recordings and often cryptic spoken texts, or emotional tense and corned work-outs built around hazed barbwire warped beat patterns and overloaded from the gut vocals. But for the most part this treads the line of simmer intensity with the treat of ripping your wind pipe out at any chosen moment. This is an album that takes time to settle and understand, you have to let it worm under your skin and show you things about yourself that scare or disgust you - like anything involved with the Prurient name this is deeply felt and often very distraught piece of work channelling deep into mankind’s fears and weakness.

A deeply involving often thought provoking and at times painful album, that shines light on to our deepest doubts, fears and mistakes. Not easy or conformable, but never the less deeply compelling & strangely rewarding.
