about

There was a time it stopped making sense
enough to wake you, and to never lay down again
and once again you part ways with all the things you knew
and all the places you hid back then
there comes a time we're stripped of artifice
enough to break you and compel you to rebuild again

everything you want, everything you need
everything that got away from us again
from a stale breeze to an empty street
climb aboard, gather up a spot for you
and make it through

this is a time to find our way again
out of the wilderness of dollars and cents, amen

everything you want, everything you need
everything that got away from us again
from a stale breeze to an empty street
climb aboard, gather up a spot for you
and make it through

no trend, no fake
no loss at stake
we shed that which we do not need
oh Lord, yeah

everything you want, everything you need
everything that got away from us again
from a stale breeze to an empty street
climb aboard, clamber up-

everything you want, everything you need
everything that you think you know, forget
all the things you own, the facade you feed
stop the trend, make a choice

released May 1, 2023

Implementing components of industrial, darkwave, synthpop, digital hardcore, and punk, Dystopiarch, from the outset, emerges and presents as its own guerrilla-audio animal.

With a visual aesthetic that recalls the cut-and-paste primitivism of early ‘80s hardcore-punk, and employing scrapyard electronics strewn across the sonic landscape of the past several decades, Dystopiarch paints a stark world picture of now, and what may lay beyond. With song titles like Pale New World, All Our Heroes Are Dead, Disco Famine, and Next Top Model, the one-man venture rails against shallow, banal socio-culture, blind consumerism, self-celebrity, and our lax attitude toward pressing world issues, that may insinuate not that we could someday rue what we have sown, in a distant dystopian future, but that perhaps we’re already neck deep in it.

Most importantly, all proceeds from the singles leading up to the release of a full-length album, will go to benefit the people of war-torn Ukraine (via the International Rescue Committee), as the unjust invasion of the country enters its second year.
