Messy and sharp all at once, the record's best :, : moments are also its most abrasive with guitar and bass parts : :' purposely clashing beneath atonal sax solos and analog tape ': ,: manipulation, sounding as if The Stooges and The Velvet :, : Underground started angrily and mindlessly jamming over each : :' other's songs. ': ,: :, : While Babysitter have yet to follow-up on their self-titled, the : :' trio's frontperson and principal lyricist Kristian North began ': ,: teasing a solo release back in 2016 with videos for "The :, : Pessimist" and "Politics in Love." A third video for "Wordplay" : :' also premiered earlier this month. On March 9th, these songs ': ,: will be included on The Last Rock N Roll Record, Kristian :, : North's debut solo LP. : :' ': ,: His newest single is called "Artworks." Like the other solo :, : tracks, it follows a hi-fi, poppy, singer-songwriter approach, : :' closer in proximity to '80s releases from Iggy Pop or Lou Reed ': ,: than the bands they had previously fronted. Not nearly as messy :, : and chaotic as what was explored in Babysitter, ôArtworksö and : :' these new solo jams still maintain that bandÆs balancing act of ': ,: sharpness and warped disorientation. :, : : :' Kristian explains, ôLike a lot of the record, this song deals ': ,: with the creative process,ö adding weight to a lyric from the :, : songÆs second verse - ôI was trying to write Crime and : :' Punishment.ö This may hint at the personal pressures one might ': ,: endure while rummaging oneÆs own imagination for its best :, : possible ideas. But he continues, ôUnlike most of the record, it : :' comes to a fairly optimistic conclusion.ö ': ,: :, : ôArtworksö was the last song written for the album, and while it : :' appears at the end of a multi-track suite closing Side A, the ': ,: track stands just as well on its own as a catchy 2-minute :, : single. Kristian agrees, ôIt is decidedly pop and has all the : :' fat trimmed from it.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
