Rolo Tomassi. All stitched together with the smoothest track flow of any
Armed release yet. Feeling simultaneously familiar but totally inspired and unique, the competitive hardcore and pop duality of this LP gel together beautifully. They’re not an anti-thesis, they’re whole. It’s deconstructivist hardcore; Maximalist pop music pushed to its breaking point; a commentary on how the current culture has made music and art so easily accessible that it’s all now “pop.” That everything is commodified, no matter how genuine; an album whose perspective is “everything is everything.”
The Armed love hardcore, hence why they’re lovingly tearing it down.
