Missouri (USA) based post-punk synth wave duo Kudzu have announced their forthcoming album titled Defeated, slated for release on 2nd March 2018 via Push & Pull Records. This album is a reaction to mounting disappointments and frustrations with increasingly frustrating and disappointing realities.
On this nine-track long-play, Kudzu delivers a cheerfully caustic synth pop assault with psychedelic underpinnings, like paint fumes you'd happily dance to. The offerings range from post-punk ("Defeated") to synth pop ("One Purpose", "No Backbone") and tracks with a darker more industrial sense ("Balking The Grave"). If that's not enough to intrigue you, the vocal delivery oscillating between John Lydon of Sex Pistols and PiL fame and the cold sinister lyricism of Al Jourgensen's Ministry in the band's earliest phase. Defeated was recorded by Adam Schoeller and Jonathan James at No Coast Recording, and mixed by the latter, with Shay Rainey creating the cover artwork.
"While we were working on new material, I drew inspiration from the petty frustrations of everyday life and the stark reality of life in the ozarks. i feel like there is a type of alienation that you can harbor in a place like this that lends it's self to bleak music. I like to treat lyrics as more emotional than literal so some lyrics might not make sense but still convey the emotion I'm trying to present", says Mark Gillenwaters.
