The church his father pastored was strictly conservative, so he was shocked to hear Christian music that sounded (at least a little) like My Bloody Valentine.<\/p>\n<p>            Most of the bands he saw in his late teens were nothing special, but Zao \u2014 the legendary metalcore band fronted by Dan Weyandt \u2014 blew his mind when he saw them on tour behind their fourth album, <i>Liberate Te Ex Inferis<\/i> (Liberate Yourself From Hell). \u201cThis tiny old church was so packed you couldn\u2019t move,\u201d he remembers. \u201cIt was almost hardcore noise, so loud and blurred and aggressive, but you could hear the intention and the orchestration pulsate through the wall of sound. It was life-changing: I was like, \u2018This is music. This is exciting. I don\u2019t give a shit if it\u2019s Christian; it\u2019s fucking awesome.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Rubio spent nearly all of her first 30-odd years in Texas \u2014 first San Antonio, then Austin \u2014 but left for New York last fall, escaping a toxic relationship, fascist politicians, and a city that had transformed during her ten-year tenure from a bastion for artists and weirdos into an ultra-gentrified tech haven. She\u2019s brought a singular soft-noise mentality to her own massive body of work, and a raft of wildly diverse collaborations: with Wendy Eisenberg, claire rousay, Thor Harris, Pardo, Lomelda, and countless others. Her first album with Graham, 2021\u2019s <i><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sethgraham.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-heart-pumps-kool-aid\">The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid<\/a><\/i>, was a largely understated affair punctuated by pregnant pauses, plumes of hyperpop, and sudden stabs of stomach-wrenching horror.<\/p>\n<p>            Tipton \u2014 another Ohioan with a similar Christian hardcore background to Graham\u2019s, though in a later era and with less-strict parents \u2014 featured on two tracks on <i>Kool-Aid<\/i>, but her contributions to <i>Night of Fire<\/i> sound nothing like any of her previously recorded output. Here, she returns to her screamo salad days, acting as the aggressive counterpoint to Rubio\u2019s Auto-Tuned croons and (<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly) gentle strings and Graham\u2019s sharped, mangled song skeletons.<\/p>\n<p>            <i>Night of Fire<\/i>, which starts with a track called \u201cChristian Rock\u201d and ends with one titled \u201cWhen God Released Me,\u201d is inspired by each artist\u2019s complex relationship with their upbringings and hometowns \u2014 fond, fucked-up memories mingling with hate for state governments that have given us some of the most brutal illustrations of the way our country eats its own.<\/p>\n<p>            With these issues in mind, Graham, Rubio, Tipton and I sat down for a video call about the heartbreaking, algorithm-shattering mayhem of their new record.<\/p>\n<p>            <b><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><\/b><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-263870\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Seth_Graham_by_Zachary_Severt_1_yv1rok\/seth-graham-photo-by-zachary-severt.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"---__\u2013___ want to wake you from your algorithmic slumber\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Seth Graham.

It gets at the essence of a uniquely American violence. Starting with Galen, tell me about what went into each of your contributions to this one.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Galen Tipton:<\/b> When I recorded most of these vocals in 2023, I was going through some of the hardest shit in my life. My mom got diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of 2023, and within nine months, she passed away. To be honest, I don\u2019t even remember most of the stuff I said [on the album] after a full year of grief brain. There are a lot of different types of violence here: of the body against itself, of the medical system that made so many missteps throughout the entire process that \u2014 I\u2019m not sure if she would\u2019ve survived, but she would definitely have lived a lot longer.<\/p>\n<p>            She had an extremely rare cancer that was caused by COVID. People say the pandemic\u2019s over, that it doesn\u2019t exist, but I\u2019ve seen people die. COVID is still here, and the denial \u2014 the bland, banal evil of just letting these awful things happen \u2014 is where my head has been for the past couple years. Most of what I put on this record was trying to process that in some way.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>MR:<\/b> The banality of evil is a huge theme for the music Seth and I make together. There\u2019s so much anti-trans legislation in Texas right now, on top of everything else. Instead of attacking this actual health crisis and protecting the most vulnerable members of the population, we\u2019re actively hurting another of our most vulnerable [communities]. A huge factor for me getting out of Texas was not knowing if I\u2019d have access to my hormones the next week.<\/p>\n<p>            Galen\u2019s vocals on the title track are some of the most harrowing on the entire record. Initially, Seth didn\u2019t even know what else could be done to it, but I heard this MIDI sound that was almost emulating a really aggressive violin and was like, \u201cI need to translate this to an acoustic instrument.\u201d I spent a long time with each section of the song \u2014 learning the notes, but also the bow pressure, what parts of the instrument to play to get those sounds. In doing that, I think [my violin] was even more aggressive than the original, digital sound.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>SG:<\/b> I wanted this record to be somewhat sound designed, but also anti-sound design. I wanted A. G. Cook to hear it and be like, \u201cThis sucks.\u201d I wanted really clean moments that go to shit. I wanted it to feel like it was made by some kid in the Midwest who kind of has no idea what they\u2019re doing, but also a person who\u2019s clearly done this for some time, not a total hack.<br \/>I want you to say, \u201cWhat the fuck is happening?\u201d I love Galen\u2019s vocals with Mari\u2019s violin because I\u2019m trying to shock you out of the algorithm music you hear all day, to force you to reconsider what you\u2019re being fed. But I didn\u2019t want it to be spiteful for the sake of spite. I needed to want to hear this record.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-263886\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kill Kare feat. diana starshine by ---__--____\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8l3kgfYVdHw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('263886');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-263887\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left pull_quote\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"pull_quote\"><p>\u201cThe bland, banal evil of just letting these awful things happen \u2014 is where my head has been for the past couple years.
