With its “Wild Things” theme and femme-forward ethos, the electronic music gathering delivered a weekend of radical joy and thoughtful celebration.
There isn’t enough goth-led music nowadays, so when an absolute heater of darkness comes out of nowhere, it’s time to bend the knee and kiss the ring. Combining a web of industrial chaos and a palette of screechy death rock sermons, Dermabrasion is a duo from Toronto who knew their self-assigned mission well; create a thematic, noisy candelabra of a concept album that draws from the bizarro world of the macabre. Dig out the all-black outfit I know you own, slap on some thick eye shadow and mascara, throw on Pain Behaviour, and go haunt some graveyards.
