“The seaside encourages and capitalises on transgression,” says Brighton-based cultural commentator Andy Medhurst. “Seaside culture is somewhere [where] the everyday rules of behaviour are put on hold. Compared to the average working week, where most people have to do set things at set times for set rewards, the seaside is a zone where all bets are off. It gives us the opportunity to write our own rules; in some cases, that can mean the usual codes of respectability cease to hold much sway.
“Seaside towns are literally and metaphorically on the edge. They give a very particular perspective. When you look back inland, nothing seems as settled as it once did – and those instabilities can be culturally productive.”

"Unexpectedly, the closing "Exercise 5" betrays some rare hints of conventional musicality, as cosmic synth drones glimmer and streak across dark skies as the ruined earth shudders, smolders, and collapses beneath.  It is a fitting end to a truly disturbing album, as it feels like I am getting one last glance from space at the final paroxysm of a world where hell has opened up to drag the living into its fiery depths." - Brainwashed

Teresa Winter - Emptiness Is Also An Excess [RAVE031]

Much more than a man a woman is a space from childhood we learned that our bodies and souls are merely vessels for bigger things other entities destined to be filled a woman cannot be an empty space she must not be big she must not be loud but the space that she is the one that belongs to her it must not be empty so they they tell me I should always aspire to be completed to be full full of a child of a man of a an ideal of whatever cheap organic and ancestral preconceptions they can shove in my body my soul should be filled with their worries a flypaper paper made of empathy catching the flies of their childish tantrums and anxious entitlement like the virgin Mary Holy Mother Universal listener Crier I take the sorrows of others and swallow them as I swallow pill bite into the ideal Swallow swallow it all I am a space that should always ask to be filled even when I’m vomiting all the debris they have discharged into me over time. A woman is a polluted polluted river. Trying to dissolve foreign objects with acid, distrustful of everything of everyone because I am terrified of this breaking and entering cult yet i am still rejecting trash in waves on the shores of myself I still want to be at peace with my own emptiness, the sealed empty room that i am to negate the space Leave nothing in me too precious for them to take let their complaints and desire drip around me without ever penetrating me even if I am capable of turning the broken glass they give me into polished diamonds, 
doesn't mean that it hurts any less.
