I got to daydreaming about what it would sound like if the next Holy Sons record was produced by someone as inventive as Lee Scratch Perry, or MF Doom, or Carl Sagan for that matter. Peaceful Life could suggest a career of musical pacification and that bothers me. It seems to me that too much in culture is warped and diluted by the desire to pander to an imaginary audience. When we retreat to the inner temple of the soul, worthwhile art is created. This tension, in itself, is a good platform for an upbeat misanthropic concept record. So for the leaner and meaner genre-hoppers, behold, Decline of the West. Hybridizers unite!
