WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

Real bad asses don't need to shout, you just know they mean it. Raw, lo-fi, slow, swaggering, distorted, deviant rock and roll from Escape-Ism for those moments when you just need to tell the world where to go.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

THE NEW RECORD BY THE FOUND SOUND DREAM DRAMA “ESCAPE-ISM” IS ALSO THE LAST ROCK N ROLL RECORD. ROCK N ROLL, THE RITUAL BASED SUBCULTURE FOUNDED ON PSUBTARRANEAN INSOMNIA, RADICAL REINVENTION OF SELF, , POLITICAL PARADOX, POETIC OBFUSCATION, AND SIN-SATIONAL SPECTACLE HAS NO PLACE IN THE NEW DIGITAL WORLD OF CORPORATE CONFORMITY AND CONTROL. THEREFORE, THIS RECORD, “RATED Z” — WHICH FEATURES NOTES, TONES, & SOUNDS THAT ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED, WILL BE THE LAST ROCK N ROLL RECORD, AS PER THE NEW RATING SYSTEM (SEE BELOW). THE LAST GASP OF POETIC PERVERSITY. RATED Z — WHAT NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO FEEL, HEAR, OR SEE.
