EFRIM MANUEL MENUCK

Efrim Manuel Menuck returns with his second album Pissing Stars, the brilliantly intense follow-up to his 2011 solo debut Plays High Gospel (CST078) and the first new material with Menuck as central songwriter and vocalist since 2014s acclaimed Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything(CST099) from his chamber-punk-rock band Thee Silver Mt. Zion.The legendary Montréal-based musician has much-deserved cult status among fans of political punk, post-rock and avant-noise songcraft alike. Menuck celebrates 25 years of unflinching and uncompromising sonic output with Pissing Stars, wherein he launches acerbic darts, impassioned salvos and fragile flowers into gusts of noise-battered song built around pulsing maximalist electronics and drone, composed on modular synthesizer and guitar, shot through with alternately plaintive, chilling, often processed vocals. Pissing Starsis Menuck at his most vulnerable and his most adventurous with a timely narrative framework that only he could conjure.
