Bay Area-based band Bliss Abyss has recently shared “red disgusting”, a single taken from their upcoming new album.
It’s a break up track about “narrative control, emotional vandalism, and watching charm curdle into cruelty.” that blends 90s alt rock and slacker garage rock in the vein on Dinosaur Jr with blissful shoegazy guitars that add up to a flawless blend of sounds that emerge in a singular way of its own. Singer/guitarist Peter Wallner delivers this message with an unassuming charm that only adds to its utterly effective method.
Further diving into the song, Wallner adds:
Red Disgusting is a breakup song about narrative control, emotional vandalism, and watching charm curdle into cruelty. It’s watching a person rewrite reality to protect their own fragile self image, and getting glimpses of these grotesque tendencies. It’s being repulsed by someone you are still addicted to and the horror of watching them smiling while they actively destroy you.
And ultimately it’s about refusing to be a part of someone else’s fiction.
