Christ vs. Warhol – Dissent

Releasedate: 14-05-2010; Label: Danse Macabre
By: Nina Mende

Beyond the perfectly manicured lawns and pre-fab buildings, between the corporate media hype and pharmaceutical ads, behind the plastic surgery and spray-on tans, a sense of unrest grows, festering just beneath the surface, threatening to tip the delicate balance of artifice and apathy off its axis and send the entire facade crashing into a well-deserved oblivion. It is this climate that birthed Christ vs. Warhol — art school sedition with guitars instead of guns. Now they released their debut album “Dissent”. Recorded and mixed by the seminal William Faith (Faith And The Muse) at his Zone 0 studio in Los Angeles, “Dissent” is destined to bring Christ vs. Warhol’s distinct, dynamic style and unique sonic aesthetic to the frontlines in a world that needs a wake-up call…

Christ vs. Warhol starts their wake-up call with odd and psychedelic music blasting right at you. The female voice that sometimes reminds of a witch singing leads you through all 13 songs. The sound is really strange and hard to describe, but it definitely is keeping your attention with interesting arrangements and interesting sounds. The album layout is held in black with some retro styles and pictures in it. It is going into the direction of the artistic style Warhol had, but it doesn’t get very close. You can find all lyrics in the booklet.
