New video that was a response to artists Tanad Aaron & Mark Swords' show Portico, in The Complex Dublin. My song uses various supporting texts from Tanad and Mark's work with the usual Kathy Acker treatment. It was really nice spending time with someone else's art and writing, and to think about giving a voice to it, moving object to subject.

Thanks to Mark O'Gorman and Paul McGrane from the Complex who were a pleasure to work with. We came up with the performance/video concept thinking about how we hadn't experienced different visual perspectives since Covid. We wanted to show both Tanad and Mark's work in the video, so seemed fitting to have an aerial view for Tanad's and gopro for Mark's. My first live performance in over a year. Played the song 19 times in a row.

Available to buy: https://wherethetimegoes.bandcamp.com/album/petrol-factory
Label: @WhereTheTimeGoes

Petrol Factory is the quaking barrier between the end of the end of time and the end of the world.
It is an oil repository in the harbour, watching the containers, navy and cruise ships arrive and depart. A median point where everything is twisted together. Oil poisons the bay. Factories chug out iron. Nothing points more to extinction than the monolith of the Petrol Factory on the horizon.
Exploring surveillance, brutal policing, modernism and mechanophilia, Petrol Factory is a passage through EBM, post punk and goth.

Often improvised and never quite the same, Petrol Factory attempts to solidify what a Rising Damp performance is like. The ghost of the theremin harking early electronics, as programmed drums create rhythmic hypnosis. Spitted lyrics respond to the archival film on the construction of a Brutalist bank, with samples that replicate the jackhammer.

Songs were arranged for a live band release with drummer Sarah Grimes and guitarist/synth player, Ivan Pawle. Due to the Covid-19 shutdown in Ireland, the live band project is currently postponed. In the meantime, listen to the album as it was made; in the solitude of your own bedroom, with the curtains drawn.
