SSG Spurge - Strap In The Bag

-- 

An orogeny of questions such as these gather inside Spurge’s “White Guilt? Venmo Us.” via voiceless expressions of black rhythm percussive structures through the use of acid, electro, early Chicago house dialects, and the ever-yet-named sound that someone will commodify inside the language of whatever is currently coming out the New York scene right now.

"White Guilt? Venmo Us." minces no word on its posture. In the bleak landscape that immediately followed June 2020, much of whatever self-made mojo that encapsulates Black aesthetics inside various macro cultural objects was finally molded into a non-terminating, ever-reproducible representative recognizable object for the masses to license and distribute by the powers that be in a way that American history has yet to witness until now. The gap between the marketability of selling blackness as a product and selling black people as a product has now widened so much as to introduce a viral psychological opacity resulting in a sort of modern reappraisal of the age-old question: “Can I be Black too?” - Ryan C. Clarke, Dweller Electronics (excerpt from full liner notes)

Prompted by a gauche tweet from Nina Kraviz, responding to criticism of pictures of her wearing cornrows, this four-track EP brings to the forefront issues like performative activism, privilege, and global gentrification within the dance music scene.
