Pink Sock e il loro Noise rock

NOTIZIE PRINCIPALI

Pink Sock is, at their core, an improvisational band that managed to record a studio album. They approach music as an artist would a collage. They work honestly within primitive skills spitting out music layered with many sounds to create something entirely different from what was started. Sounds originate from everywhere. From instruments, uneasy static, forgotten toys, broken drums, bad computers, big mistakes, found objects, cold sweats, childhood night nightmares, shameful mornings and mundane influences. Just another way to punch at peeling paint, clutches of information, wood grain Formica, fake friends, bad feelings, lonely cells, gallons of beer, tons of drugs, hidden agendas, smut, rain, overdue library books, and leftover DNA (a fusion of bananas, zeros and typecast smudges). 

It's an extension of the theory developed by the Manipulationist Movement:
 

“The artwork itself is not built of restraint. Drifting in the ugly wake of the world, living on a globe so full of potential and noise, the visual sense of the movement carries an aura of transgression and apocalypse. As if we are endlessly sketching a rough draft to form chambers of light that overlap. A chorus of "this is what we do and it’s beautiful and it’s terrible."
 

And, "If nothing is new, then manipulate. If all has been done, then reinvent."
