Kim Salmon - My Script (2015)

My Script is ineffably Salmonesque, recalling many of the artist's key incarnations from seminal work with the Surrealists to date, and boasting typically whip-smart dialectical wordiness punctuated by a recurring six-track modulated drone cycle ("It's Not Forgetting" et al). There are strangled guitars and glam posturing ("Gorgeous & Messed Up"), post-punk angst ("Sign Apps"), dyspeptic pop-rock ("Making Me Better"), and anarchic deployment of rhyming triplets ("xxxing Shit Up"). "Client JGT683" is a meditation on prevailing immigration policies co-written with pundit Waleed Aly, and "Animal Man" a raw reflection on the primitivism of the artist.
