Voici le concept derrière l'album : "HOSTILE
ARCHITECTURE is a sonic exploration of the ways that subjects under
late capitalism are constrained and set in motion via the various
structures that uphold stratification and oppression in urban contexts.
It is inspired by brutalist, postmodern and utilitarian architectural
structures that are found throughout post-industrial cities,
hauntological in nature, being designed to provide for the populace
through affordable housing but ultimately cost-cutting exercises and
unfit for purpose. The term hostile architecture refers to design
elements in social spaces that deter the public from using the object
for means unintended by the designer, e.g. anti-homeless spikes, which
the album presents as emblematic of a foundational contempt for the poor
and working class, an exemplification of a status quo fortified in
concrete. The album invites the listener to explore the dissonance of
these contradictions in their own circumstances and perhaps consider
possibilities for a world beyond what Mark Fisher called “Capitalist
Realism.”"
