Guizhou Drainer / I Am Happy Because Everyone Loves Me

Two entities, two fractures in the same delirious mirror. On this split release, Guizhou Drainer and I Am Happy Because Everyone Loves Me each deliver a pair of tracks that lurch between introspective corrosion and outright sonic hostility. These are not compositions so much as habitats—breathing, festering zones where texture becomes organism and noise becomes weather. The record unfolds like an electrified marsh engineered by a deranged mind that sabotaged its own design: lysergic amphibians flicker beneath the surface, their bodies fusing meat and oxidized metal, gulping down shadow-flies with ecstatic hunger. Brine-thick waters convulse with illicit currents. Soluble fish with serrated scales drift in and out of perception. Slabs of raw, trembling flesh masquerade as lilies, gently orbiting a center that does not exist. And always, beneath it all, something watches—fresh acid eyes, playful and cruel, surfacing just long enough to be remembered incorrectly. Pour yourself a cup of this unholy broth. Or better yet, inject it directly into your sight. Let it bloom there. -Sir Kuliktavikt
