Sirens of distortion introduce “CONDITIONS”, a blistering new single from anonymous LA artist Cable Street Riot. What follows is an onslaught of experimental music-making, with gritty, pulsating industrial sounds carrying moody vocals over lyrics about the sun’s relentless rising and setting (“Will it ever fucking change?”), before passages of heavenly alternative pop give way to an explosion of jungle beats and synthetic sounds.
This high-octane single is genuinely exploratory, pushing the boat out with elaborate production and an expressive, rousing atmosphere that pulls you down before lifting you back up again. Cable Street Riot is a project unafraid to explore the uncomfortable aspects of the human condition, creating music that is challenging without being alienating and pairing accessible musical ideas with a hardcore musical spirit.
