Encounter: EARLY LABYRINTH Dispatch

Date: Wednesday, August 7th 

Time: 19:00 – 21:00

Early Labyrinth is dispatching an Info-Ministry delegate to TIER to present an overview of its incarnations as a band and Necropolitical Dis-Organization. Part artist talk, part ideological clinical trial, and part Think Tank for Universal Liberation, the event will parse out the project’s many facets and dissect the footnotes of its first album “Do You Want to Be Part of the Crime or Part of the Punishment?” (2023).

While thematically punk, it sonically channels far funkier spirits into the crafting of intoxicating, rhythmically layered songs. These are choral refrains to stave off end times, smooth harmonies meditating on military torture, soulful hooks for carving out space beyond the omnipresent police state.

Visually notable for their elaborate music videos and range of masked costumes, the band stages live concerts as well as actions ranging from guerrilla press conferences, clinical drug trials, religious processions, and necropolitical haunted houses.

Conceived as a remedy to the general malaise of growing up and older under imperial global capitalism, this is music made for dancing on the future graves of dead systems; invocations playing out across the overgrown cemeteries late at night as what is left of humanity mingles with its ghosts.
