It's not that we aren't already, we know this. But I think we could use some more. Whether that's looking, getting, making, being, appreciating. It could be about bringing a certain softness to a life wracked with strife, or it could be about saying Don't Get Cute With Me, Pig. It could be pure aesthetic appreciation or just thinking about getting cute with a cutie. There's cute in the hard and unyielding, as well, and the darkness that a smile might hide.
Here's a little photoshoot I've been doing, something of which will end up being the cover, probably:
As always, the theme is unimportant. Use it as inspiration if it works that way, or ignore it if it doesn't. And as always, we're open to just about anything as long as it's an audio file. I don't think I have had to execute my curatorial powers once yet?
Some background: Since 2016, Fuck the Polis! have been organizing a compilation released on Valentine's Day. You can find them here: 2016 (Pop); 2017 (Solidarity); 2018 (Extra); 2019 (Digging In); 2020 (Smash b/w Pushing Through); 2021 (Chorus); and 2022 (Set(s)). These compilations have been home to experimental, noise, plunderphonics, bedroom pop, poetry, folk, punk, country, darkwave, and a whole lot more.
To be on the comp, all you have to do is email me (uninterpretative [at] gmail) an audio file (preferably .wav or .aiff, but I can make anything work) before February 14th and I can probably include it. If you have any questions, hit up that email or @beegabberel or wherever you talk to me. I'm happy to support, whether with words or sounds or whatever I can manage.
