The C.I.A. - S/T

This record is an encapsulation.

The omnipresent fear & anger.

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

& WHAT (!) is REALLY going on?

Consternation….today……….

There is difficulty, frustration, strain

and a large snake.

You can feel the pressure of it breathing on the streets, in media, and in your lunch.


- Donnie burned my mother / He baked her in the oven / Took her love of living and replaced it with an aspirin / If baby doesn't listen / He's gonna get a beating / Cuz mommy's getting angry / In fact she's getting even - From "Sedition"


This S/T, by The C.I.A. is an urgent musical notice. I feel it immediately.

The pointed vocal cadence & lyrics of Denée Segall (Lamps, VIAL) is a sharp scythe,

and the actual time is…Now.

I feel the same distress call and disposition from Crass records like Penis Envy or DIRT. in fact, if you took that…mixed in “Black Silk Stocking” by Chrisma and a touch of early Nic Endo (Atari teenage riot) and even Dinah Cancer (45 Grave) “Autopsy” era, you can get a feeling. And Similarly to those mentioned, Denée is putting a time stamp on THIS time. The spirit and her viability is strong in many a corner, and in many a heart. The alarm is ringing.


- POWER THROUGH PEACE - From “Power”


Or….


- Don't love you / Don't want to / Don't see you / Don't have to / Won't hear you / Won't be fooled / Won't please you / Don't have to / Don't love you / Don't want to / Don't see you / Don't have to / Fix your opinion / I will not be giving in / I will not be blind to the world that we're living in “ - From “Gunslinger”

This is survival .......
