This new LP, is shocking. “Because if you can’t beat ‘em, kill ‘em / If you can’t kill ‘em, fuck
‘em,” growls Lydia Lunch on “If You Can’t Do It Good, Do It Hard.” A booming electro rhythm
re-enters and she catches the beat, chanting the track’s title as if playing drill sergeant. Nicolas
Jaar has frequently asked that we move our bodies to his music, but never in this way. This
is straight-up fight music. 2017 - 2019 isn’t quite this lairy elsewhere, but most of it is jagged,
hard-hitting and seriously over-driven. The change has Jaar sounding artistically replenished. |
