Prurient offerings, this little sonic conflagration-- originally from acassette release and due to appear on a tour-only CD for Prurient'supcoming jaunt with Xiu Xiu-- will first flatten you with its more visceral qualities. Butwhat often sets Prurient apart from a lot of noise out there, andspecifically makes this track worth coming back to? It'spractically a pop song.
No really: peel away all the hellfire and you'll find "CocaineDeath" opens with a fairly simple chord progression that reappearsin patterns of variations throughout. It doesn't breach thefive-minute mark. Hell, there's even a set of words repeated atintervals-- a chorus!-- "Of course/ I'd answer you/ For myself/Only for myself."Okay sure, it's a mite short on melody, and the rhythm is a bitstatic, but with a little imagination one could easily arrange thissucker for piano, strings, brass band, you name it. You hear that,Sufjan? Screw that 50 states racket-- what the people need is aPrurient covers record.Prurient: "Cocaine Death" [from the
