“Like This Forever” sounds like La Vie Sauvage and Pet Snake are sending musical transmissions from an underground bunker in a dystopian future as envisioned in the 1990s. There is something retro about its deconstructed industrial aesthetics. Like a synthesis of glitchcore and whatever it was Curve was doing in the mid-90s. Tones bliss out in chaotic fashion in sharp bursts that linger and the vocals haunt the track like a ghost in the machines responsible for processing the sounds. It’s the kind of song that Gregg Araki should include in a dystopian, retro-futurist cyberpunk inspired film he would make based on a reworking of a Thomas M. Disch novel like what would happen if the lead character of Camp Concentration escaped with his abilities intact and created a rebellious underground poised to overthrow a technocratic global oligarchy. It’s a wonderfully dark mood piece that fans of Machine Girl and Nine Inch Nails as well as the aforementioned might fully appreciate.
