MR 21: Destroyer of Obstacles

James Episode 21

I began to feel pleasantly haunted, finding information in the static, a hymnal in the hiss as I carved two hours down to the eighteen minutes we have before us now. Here are the ingredients:

  • A drum loop from Woob’s “Odonna” (Woob 1194, 1994 | More)
  • Goma ritual chants, tape hiss, static, and fifty-two pounds of reverb.
  • Hiroshi Yoshimura – Adelaide (Flora, 1987 | Bandcamp)
  • Some in-house synthesizers and a kick drum that, late at night, sounds like something knocking from the other side of the veil.

Perhaps demons are ready for a reboot. The grifters, faith-dealers, dead-eyed influencers, and screamers are stripping our world for parts, and we crave justice—not the justice of our rickety institutions, but something cosmic that assures us the universe can balance itself.
