Hence Therefore - Bad Hope / Bad Despair, 12" Vinyl

“Bad hope and bad despair are mutually constitutive. Capitalism gets you coming or going. ‘We’ can fix the problem ‘we’ made. And when ‘we’, geoengineers, fail, ‘we’ can live through it, whisper ‘our’ survivalist bad consciences, the preppers hoarding cans of beans. Is there a better optimism? And a right way to lose hope? It depends who’s hoping, for what, for whom – and against whom. We must learn to hope with teeth.”
- China Mieville, "The Limits Of Utopia"

HENCE THEREFORE sharpens his technoid soundscapes - angling into the dancefloor. With clattering bicycle spokes, experimental choral dirges and polyrhythmic interplay, we are invited to consider how we deploy our dances and despairs - and against whom.
