Simple rhythms. Tearing noise. Metaphorical lyrics with fractured syntax.
PCR is a no wave, art-punk band that inherits the lineage of post-punk while reinterpreting it through an experimental, deconstructive sound.
“Rather than discussing melody in the face of their deconstructive music, it is more urgent to grasp what kind of questions their very existence poses to the current currents of popular music. By the nature of the no wave genre, their anti-chorus sound resists being hummed—indeed, it must not be hummed. The chorus itself is a kind of system produced by popular music, and insofar as catchiness functions as a mechanism that numbs thought, PCR’s records are not so much consumed as they simply exist; they are not something that arrives to be heard, but something that imposes itself.”
