Foetus – Halt (CD)
Product Details
JG Thirlwell has spent four decades building one of the most uncompromising bodies of work in experimental music, influencing industrial, noise, and avant-garde composition from the margins while collaborating with artists ranging from Lydia Lunch to Nick Cave. Closing a chapter that opened in early-'80s New York, Halt arrives as a genuine reckoning, the sound of an artist who never softened his edges choosing to go out on his own terms.
HALT is the final Foetus album, and the first Foetus album in twelve years. It completes the cycle of an arc that began in 1981 with the first Foetus album DEAF. Foetus is one of the major musical projects of NYC composer JG Thirlwell.Thirlwell worked on HALT on and off over a period of eight years. As with each album he has made, he wanted to reinvent the music, use new forms, innovate and introduce new surprising forms into his musical palette, at the same time as feeling like a leap forward. HALT deals with themes of war, religion, disease, media, global warming, anxiety, hypocrisy, conspiracy, death and mortality, among other things. Dread is a leitmotif through many of the Foetus albums and this one is no exception. CD packaged in a six panel digipack with a 24 page booklet with lyrics, sleeve notes and artwork.
