about

himukalt was born from the obsession, addiction, and the impure thoughts of american noise artist ester kärkkäinen. her impulse for self-destruction, co-mingles with self-discovery, as she confesses broken tales about sex work, manic-depression, social anxiety, dysphoria and psychic parasites. all finally leaving us to languor in her suicidal ideation and conflicted desire to be very, very alone. she swaddles those appropriations from her life and those around her in the aestheticized violence of power electronics and a death-industrial negativity, similar to that of lille roger, atrax morgue, and master/slave relationship.

if facets from kärkkäinen’s earlier albums gave you a glimpse of seeing the world of sex workers, dreaming of a dead girl lets you inside to feel their world. clandestine, this is a door you close behind you. through torment and despair, in darkness, a finality dissolves through hope. metallic fluttering and empty thuds of disregarded heartbeats transmute sounds at times more substantive than the soiled words you are hearing. yet-in the end-through all the purring, scrambled anxiety, i feel like the defiled have assumed control. even if just by mentally disconnecting from the physical acts and escaping back, all alone, to a fractured inner psyche “an agony that tore her in two”. – jhane @/inherlonelyslip, los angeles, 2021

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
