Abandon

"The music hovers around the noise and power electronics genres, taking cues from Throbbing Gristle, various phases of Swans, and Whitehouse among others. Like those bands, Chardiet isn't interested in music as a passive listening experience. Instead, Abandon is a brick hurtling through the windshield of a moving car, a purposefully antagonistic act that forces you to fully focus on the moment".

"In the harsh world that Pharmakon creates here, singing becomes an anguished wail, backbeats become ominous thrums of low-end noise, and rhythm sections are replaced by hypnotic surges of mechanical noise, making it clear to listeners that the structures they find comfort in have been corrupted; there is no safe haven here".

"Skal man sige noget kritisk om denne ellers på mange måder vellykkede ep, så skulle det (...) være, at man sine steder endog ret tydeligt hører og genkender de meget oplagte inspirationskilder. Det fungerer, da her er tale om en ep, men skal Pharmakon op på fuld længde, så tror jeg, hun skal træde lidt mere ud af forbilledernes skygge" lyt".
