Parasite Nurse "Lack" CD

Parasite Nurse's follow up to 2023's "Life Is Beautiful" with "Lack" which as far as I'm concerned, it might be necessary to listen to as a whole, all tracks in order and in its entirety. tl;dr Samantha's words about this release do a better job than anything I could write to describe this intricate, piercing mesh of frequencies where substances blur beyond recall.

" the result of a tumultuous year culminating in an almost tranquil state. in stark contrast to its predecessors, this is not a record that deals with mental instability, debilitating emotion or disappointment in myself and those around me. i have experienced strong romantic and sexual emotions since i was old enough to comprehend them. my life has been filled with intense connection with the world around me whether they were fleeting or prolonged. like most, i have loved, lost, yearned and lusted. following two years of overwhelming feelings of love and betrayal, overcoming an addiction to a medication recklessly prescribed to me, an attempt on my own life, various flings and temporarily losing myself entirely something clicked in my brain. the void in my life previously filled with attempts at romance and sexual desire is no longer present. i have come to cherish the deep and meaningful connections i have with those that i love and care for far more than i was previously capable of. this new phenomenon is entirely alien to me, however. no longer desiring romantic and sexual fulfillment is not something i have experienced in my time as an autonomous person. it has brought my humanity as whole into question for me while simultaneously affirming it. these pieces are a sonic representation of the result of paths i have taken up to this point. thanks for listening."
