Isolation Society straddles two distinctively interesting worlds — their self-titled debut (coming out 10/9 via Burger Records) would be equally appropriate on a post-punk bill as it would be blasting through the speakers of flickering, fog-filled warehouse party. There’s a dreaming, transcendental feeling to their work that makes you feel as if you’re floating, but it’s contrasted by colliding samples and punctuated by clever lyrics like, “I just got to heaven, but I can’t stay long,” that bring you back to the depths of hell where you belong.
Isolation Society is a three piece band from NYC. Julie Hair on bass, samples and vocals, Richard Hutchins on drums, and Ian Wilson on guitar and vocals.
Of the release, the band encapsulates it as, “Content driven songs utilizing samples drawn from popular culture combine with lyrics about the human condition and personal politics. The sonic element draws from the diverse musical vocabulary and influences that each band member brings to the table.”
