Eclectic Art Rock Quartet DESCARTES A KANT Repair Emotional Damage With All New Single, “A CATASTROPHE”

Los Angeles – Would you describe your life as a catastrophe? Look no further than Guadalajara’s experimental post-punk panacea, Descartes A Kant (DAK), as they guide the listener through a dichotomous soundscape of invigorating, mechanized arpeggiations, tempered by a siren song of soothing, vocoded melodies. This carefully constructed pièce de résistance comes in the form of “A Catastrophe,” the second single from DAK’s upcoming full-length feature, After Destruction, available worldwide September 29th. “A Catastrophe” is short but sweet, cutting to the cataclysmic core of man’s folly with its automaton observations, while simultaneously offering hope for a better tomorrow by gingerly adorning the largely spoken-word masterpiece with the dulcet tonality of a saccharin bridge.

“A Catastrophe” serves as a taste of things to come, as part of DAK’s retro-futuristic concept album, After Destruction, which explores the existential cycle of creation and destruction in a hyper-communicative, yet physically isolated, contemporary society. After Destruction seamlessly combines a multitude of musical elements, ranging from reverberant synth, ASMR-inducing audio sampling, and fuzzy, square wave saturation to create a truly one-of-a-kind coalescent convalescence, After Destruction.
