    [Notes]

    Pharmakon's second full-length, the brilliant 2014 release Bestial Burden,
    dealt with physical pain and feeling betrayed by one's own body. On her 2017
    follow-up, Contact, noise artist Margaret Chardiet aims to escape the
    confines of her aching frame and induce trance states, producing out-of-body
    experiences. This is Pharmakon at her most hypnotic and brooding -- there's
    nothing as immediate as "Autoimmune" from her previous album, and it
    couldn't possibly be as confrontational as her live shows, during which she
    physically engages with her audience, screaming in people's faces and
    getting them tangled up with her microphone cord. That said, it's still an
    incredibly powerful, bracing work. This is the first Pharmakon album to be
    recorded in a professional studio, and it's one of her most focused attacks
    yet. Contact contains some of Chardiet's most vicious vocal performances to
    date, as she snarls and exorcizes demons over a slowly pounding industrial
    death drone. Opener "Nakedness of Need" features throbbing bass and swarming
    electronics, while Chardiet shrieks her head off. "Transmission" is more
    nervous and jittery, with her machines pulsating and shaking and her
    delay-covered howls creating their own rhythm. "Somatic" forgoes vocals,
    building a loose structure out of feedback and erupting in blazing
    distortion later on. The album concludes with "No Natural Order," which
    features clanging metal chains (which she constructs sounds from during her
    live performances) and lyrics about how logic is a man-made concept.
    Everything is arbitrary, nothing makes sense, and there's ultimately no
    significance to anything. Chardiet alternates between harsh squealing and
    guttural growling, and the effect is equally oppressive as well as
    liberating. As grim and hopeless as the album may seem, it's ultimately
    about escaping day-to-day reality and entering a state of transcendence.
    It's startling and uncomfortable, but it's highly compelling.
