Porest
's fourth long-player,
Modern Journal of Popular Savagery
is a damning collection of parallel realities told in song and sound. Following 2006's masterful
Tourrorists
,
MJoPS
pits post-globalized hate pop, cabalistic text-to-speech drama and violent tape music against soapbox anthems and swirling barbed-wire psychedelia -- sometimes within the same track. The result: a terrifying and ridiculous audio shakedown that both avoids and completely indulges the inherent trappings of art and politics. Fuzzed out guitars and keyboards, epic modulated grooves, "samples" and far-out fucking field recordings index the colonization of our consciousness. You're already dead -- and none of your intellectual friends can save you. Guests include
Richard Bishop
(
Sun City Girls
),
Peter Conheim
(
Negativland
), and
Jake Rodriguez
(
Bran?Pos
). Recorded between California, Syria, Vietnam and points in between.
Across decades, Porest (aka
Mark Gergis
) has issued a trail of confounding agitprop sound art, tilted pop, diabolical radio dramas and carefully rearranged realities on the Abduction, Seeland and Resipiscent labels. Porest's blatant embezzlement of human syntax and cultural misunderstanding broadcasts vital mixed messages. Collaborations have included:
Aavikko
(Finland),
Sun City Girls
(USA), and Negativland (USA) among others. Gergis was a co-founder of the long-running experimental Bay Area music and performance collective
Mono Pause
-- as well as its offshoot
Neung Phak
, performing inspired renditions of southeast Asian musics. Since 2003, with the Sublime Frequencies label, an ethnographic music and film collective out of Seattle, Washington -- and more recently, with his own record label -- Sham Palace, Gergis has shared decades of research and scores of archived international music, film footage and sound recordings acquired during extensive travels in the Middle East, South East Asia and elsewhere.
