We Came As Dirt
Cursed Into Meaning
"The end of the world will still be there in the morning." On their debut full length album 'Cursed Into Meaning,' We Came As Dirt laments the state of the world and the human condition in a little under 30 minutes of nervous abandon. Born of despair and tossed into meaning, the songs are testimony to privilege, catholic guilt and cynical resignation. The album can be regarded as a collection of snippets of nightmare note pad entries and streams of conscious anxiety. The sense of defeat in the lyrics is real, but We Came As Dirt never turns jaded or bitter. Things are terrible, but hey, they have been here since forever, right? With the attitude of a punk/hardcore kid from the nineties trying to satisfy its schizophrenic taste in music, We Came As Dirt alternates straight forward hardcore grooves with weird-timed breaks and tempo switches. These quick-change songs push several buttons at unexpected moments, leaving the listener nauseous, disoriented and excited for another spin. For fans of Coalesce, The Jesus Lizard, Botch, Harkonen, Unsane.
