Comments: From the onesheet: "[Pill's] music is a pulsing protest of anguish and desire clotted with arrhythmia and dissonance. It's a howl of freedom that is conscious of that freedom's cost. Call it No wave, call it post-punk; at this stage, it's more modern-day folk or protest music for what New York City has become: the capture and distillation of an energy and friction that comes from living amongst so many people in such a confined, creatively charged yet conflicted space. Convenience is Pill's debut album. It explodes the concepts of their previous recordings through a field of emotional and political upheaval... an unsettled sound that employs a tension-release, ouroboric dynamic."
