DAVID BORING - Unnatural Objects And Their Humans LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition grey colour vinyl.

Insert with lyrics. Includes d/l code.

Highly recommended.

Structured to tell a sequence of stories representing the oppressed young humans in this slowly decaying modern world, it builds on three main arcs - “The Machine”, “Unnatural Objects” and “Their Humans”.

“The Machine” is the womb that breeds, governs and drives the dystopia that slowly takes form. The womb provides.

“Unnatural objects” denotes the normalized absurdities that blossomed under a cheerfully toxic environment.

“Their Humans” looks dispassionately at a series of (objectified) protagonists and their futile attempts to survive.

The three arcs intertwine to form a 12-act piece that paints a violently nihilistic picture, mapping the band's intricate psyche in response to the gentle malice of the modern world.

Filled with graphical keynotes and texts, it serves as a manual that narrates and amplifies the band's controlled insanity.

"Laujan’s voice, an Estuary British drawl that ratchets up to fevered chant then deafening shriek, recalls the spoken word, loud-quiet stylings of Prolapse, Hole and Slint, mixed with the shrill insouciance of Poly Styrene. On Loosefuck, her rapidfire incantation harks to the proto-punk of Iggy and the Stooges and Black Flag, as if the song were a misanthropic spell tossed into a cauldron of grunting bass.

David Boring strike a balance between music that’s simultaneously unknowable and inviting. The gasps at the end of final track Newborn Porn echo our own exhaustion and weariness at the state of society, but the band’s ferocity until the very final seconds of the album suggests this is a war that has only just begun.

One of the more arresting acts to have emerged from the city in recent years, David Boring have released a brave and stirring debut that, while wearing its influences on its sleeve, may see the young quintet soon mentioned in the same breath as their heroes in record shops across the city." - Underground Hong Kong
