Remnants of noise still exist, sustaining the penetrative viscerality offered on previous records, however The Drought demonstrates an intention to expand on the vocabulary of confrontational music and into a grander narrative defined by technical and emotional growth.
　　Bringing together introspective examination with literary frameworks by writers such as Charles Baudelaire and Jean Genet, Puce Mary’s compositions manifest an ongoing power struggle within the self towards preservation. The traumatised body serves as a dry landscape of which obscured memories and escape mechanisms fold reality into fiction, making sense of desire, loss and control. The Drought presents both danger and opportunity; through rebuilding a creative practice centred on first person narrative and a deliberate collage of field recordings and sound sources Puce Mary’s injects an acute urgency across the album seeking resilience.
　　“To Possess Is To Be In Control” makes use of lyrical repetition as an ambiguity of two selves, or a divided self, attempting to consume one another, while “Red Desert,” named after Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1964 film, portrays the individual subsumed by surrounding environmental forces. The seven-minute epic “The Size of Our Desires” acts as the emotional tipping point of the record; amongst the ominous drone and dense feedback flutters almost-beatific melodies, while the lyrics reveal a romantic call to be swept up in the midst of an increasingly uninhabitable world.
　　Rather than escape, The Drought dramatises a metamorphosis in which vulnerability is confronted through regeneration. Noise and aggression no longer act as an affront to react against but part of a ‘corporeal architecture’ where space, harmony and lyricism surface from the harsh tropes of industrial music. The Drought chronologises the artist’s transformation through a psychological famine, new ways of coping akin to plant survival in a desert – to live without drying out.
　　The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring cover art by Torbjørn Rødland.

【译】Pitchfork评 Puce Mary - 《The Drought》

“一堆破碎的景象—奋力锤炼着地面的太阳，不能再提供任何阴凉的已经死去的树，已无力鸣叫的蟋蟀，干燥得不能再干的石头…..我会在无边的沙风中展示我的恐惧”（A heap of broken images, where the sun beats/And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief/And ... (展开)

短评

A-（84）和去年Pan Daijing的Lack有异曲同工之妙，不过Lack更加侧重表现变态、自虐性的肉体之痛苦，而Puce Mary的这张The Drought则把Death Industrial与Power Electronics提升到了一个纯粹的emotional and psychological level。冰冷却诗意化的Spoken Word成为了她叙述的工具... (展开)
