Devour LP

Margaret Chardiet packs her noise and power-electronics project Pharmakon into five tracks on Devour, driving harsh electronics hard against her unhinged vocal delivery. Sacred Bones released it to some of the strongest reviews of her career: number 9 on Treble's year-end list, an 83 average on Metacritic, real engagement from both Pitchfork and Exclaim!. It tightens her confrontational, body-focused sound into a smaller, harder target.
