Le Crunch had been a good detective once, but that was a long time ago.

An album of late capitalism - the latest, in fact. Le Crunch is the very latest in the latest line of most recent late capitalist expression.
It looks a bit like punk, it's written like metal, and it's regrettably neither.
A confused, abandoned concept album, it moans about a lot of things. But most importantly, it grunts begrudgingly that the system is le tired, and it asks of you - when's it going to break, what are you going to do to help, how exactly is it going to happen, and how can we make this good for everyone? However, it doesn't believe in any of your answers or indeed in anything, and is laughing at you the whole time you are talking.

A whiny, scathing indictment of the life experience from a place way out left, Le Crunch opens thus:

"welcomed screaming down in Langley's cultural recovery farm and i was fed up
I was born in a red slime and trying to crawl back inside but they told me get up
it's bullshit! fuck it"

This is what happened to everyone in the world! Dragged from the cosiness of that sweet warm amniotic fluid. Manhandled by a corporate worker! Unplugged from the astral realm in all it's limitless glory, and flung head first into a life of someone else's choosing! Absolutely disgusting behaviour if you ask us.

BROKER put it best without even swearing in their song PRO RATA from their first album ARGUMENT/COUNTER ARGUMENT -

"you won't remember signing in, cause birth was your induction
but is half your life too much to ask? for happiness, security?
if some dream different, let them lead us"

It's enough already, definitely
but what is next, friends?

It seems we are all too preoccupied with our navel gazing to likely enjoy the fruits of a new dawn in our lifetime, and moaning about this paralysis is the backbone of this album. However, for those who seek them, messages of hope and perseverance are to be found in Le Crunch. There is always a reason to go on. Behind the mask of cress, there are glints to be seen of a very bright light that does not go out.

We hope you can see it.
