Privilege, Pt. III: Mend & Make Do

Parenthetical Girls continue their ambitious Privilege experiment with Privilege, pt III: Mend & Make Do--a bizarre and bombastic four-song suite of transgression, sexual politics, and bliss debasement. The EP opens upon lead single 'The Pornographer,' a leering Blues number (A BLUES NUMBER?!?!) of lust gone wrong, that recalls the unlikely bravado of light-loafered forbearers from the Bad Seeds to Depeche Mode. 'For All The Final Girls' follows, a quietly frenzied chamber piece about the inescapable shadow of the past, and of the privileged evasion of personal responsibility. 'Careful Who You Dance With' is a cautionary tale of revelry awry, while 'Mend & Make Do (Found Drama II)' continues the fragmented, kitchen-sink pathos begun on Privilege, pt. I.
