ESCAPE-ISM is a solo project from Ian
Svenonius. Svenonius is known for his work in groups The Make-Up, Chain & the Gang, XYZ,
Weird War and author of underground bestsellers such as The Psychic Soviet, Supernatural
Strategies for Making a Rock ’n’ Roll Group, and Censorship Now! Recognised by
Performer Magazine as the “greatest performer on the planet”, Svenonius is
profound, prophetic, perverse, and poetic. His debut solo album
an ‘Introduction to Escape-ism’ is released through Merge soon, teaming up a
drum machine, guitar, cassette player, and a single voice singing out… for a
way out. Svenonius’ songs cry out for love, justice, redemption and
insurrection, they stomp on convention and clobber notions of what music can
be. Live, Escape-ism a new paradigm of performance: raw, gestural, idiotic,
sublime, revolutionary, poetic, faux naïf, unknowing, a drainage pipe that
leads to who knows where. ‘Introduction
to Escape-ism’ isn’t just the soundtrack for a late-night drive on a
lonely interstate, or a platter played to incite abandon at a pajama party with
one’s pals. It’s also a tunnel to tomorrow. It’s a mineshaft to the motherlode.
It’s 100% unadulterated Ian Svenonius.
