About This Item
Following their striking debut on DKA Records in 2014, High-Functioning Flesh delivered an exceptional step forward in their sound on their sophomore effort for Dais Records, the InchDefinite StructuresInch LP in 2015. Since then, High-Functioning Flesh find themselves at their sharpest and most poised position to date within the album InchCulture CutInch.Produced by the band in their personal studio during the Fall of 2016, Vand and Subtract felt the need to start the recording process on fresh footing, and composed InchCulture CutInch using a variety of newly acquired vintage Roland and Oberheim equipment, creating entirely new percussion and synth samples to break out of familiar writing habits. The result was an album written in the face of a world unraveling - with several tracks addressing the dynamics of life in our current political climate. Songs such as InchDrawn OutInch discuss the observation of projected failure in our daily lives while InchProvoke the WoundInch projects a vision of dystopian collapse. InchHands at PlayInch reveal the band's more melodic sound, previously debuted on InchHeightened StateInch, the b-side to their InchHuman RemainsInch single. Regardless of this pliant approach, lyrically the band holds firm to it's abstract doubt and disinclined sense of compromise.
