If Uncle Sam were to hire me to DJ another one of his Gitmo dungeon parties, I’d open my set with ‘SIN’. Carter Tutti, an experimental electronic outfit comprised of Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, both of whom are former members of industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, present to you the soundtrack to the snuff bootleg of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.
‘SIN’ is produced and arranged with a tender hate that requires at least a couple headphone listens to truly appreciates the bizarre drones, pads, panning and dead-on-arrival vocals. Disjointed and reptilian, it is the audible essence of writhing through the shit and the piss; erotic enough to push the listener to the point of turning villain.
It is the siren’s song for the postcolonial, postmodern, post recession, post-empire, post every-fucking-thing collapse when moral decay is the guiding ethos of the day. And it has a four on the floor beat. It would be far too cliché to play this track on the local industrial-goth night. It’s a brilliant drop when it is time challenge the psyches of the 13th hour stragglers who think they can last longer than the veteran behind the tables. It is a structured hazing ritual for the neophytes. Ennui is a dead scene when there’s disco.
Wandering slaughterhouse guitar wails rub salt on dry skin until there is a wound. Carter Tutti wants to dissolve the divide between pleasure and pain and they succeed in their decadent and decaying mission. Enjoy your post-Valentine’s comedown of kink and self-destruction. Don’t be surprised if you hear it on the dance floor. I’d put it out there if only for my own sadistic amusement.
