While only instrumental, \u201cHelp Computer\u201d features old samples from news media, optimistically covering the rise of the information age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EP closes with \u201cBloated &amp; Blue\u201d and \u201cValueless Trade\u201d. Both tracks delve into the depressing spiral, starting with the feeling of isolation and self-pity, then closing with a violent self end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Computer<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;is available on all major digital outlets worldwide including Spotify and Bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DECENT NEWS<\/strong>\u00a0is a furious fusion of Industrial and American Hardcore founded back in 2016.
