LIMITED EDITION SILVER NUGGET VINYL

"Motivation bonds us. By sharing the same intent, we can fulfill the same purpose. Both Toronto duo Intensive Care (Andrew Nolan and Ryan Bloomer) and Rhode Island duo The Body (Chip King and Lee Buford) thrive as innovative forces in extreme music. Rather than lean into the expected, these four musicians made a collective decision to disrupt once again by joining forces in 2024 for the collaborative albumWas I Good Enough? [Closed Casket Activities]. With glitchy graveyard bellowing vocals, icy industrial backbone, and teeth-rattlingly heavy grooves, these eight tracks certainly reflect the respective legacies and pedigrees of their creators. Yet, they summon a distinctly dynamic and dangerous beast through the distortion. “Our motivations are very similar,” Ryan states. “The collaboration made sense, because we weren’t necessarily bringing anything separate individually. It seemed like we were bringing two sides together in order to make a bigger whole. At the same time, we didn’t repeat ourselves. You’re going to hear two guitar-based bands who didn’t use much guitar at all on this. It’s a largely electronic album, but it sounds as heavy as any guitar-based music I’ve ever done.”"
