Denver punk act Poor Me, are streaming their brand new ‘Sugarcane’ EP in full. The latter is indeed out since August 14th on various digital platforms.
This record is inspired by a proliferating feeling that the world is getting harder to navigate morally. Falsities are acceptable as warrants for our beliefs, social issues are diluted and polarized until they are palatable for the ill-informed, and confidence in ourselves is replacing the competence of collaboration. As we negotiate circumstances in our lives, we have a plethora of sources to turn to for direction.
We can gut-check the moment, or we can turn to science, philosophy, religion, government, our families, etc. Each has its limits, its agendas, but increasingly, a satisfaction with conversion rather than persuasion. Watching the world turn this direction is frustrating, but not surprising... the carrot and stick has always been this effective on the masses.
