Negative Utopia
After releasing their accomplished debut album New Age Paranoia in 2023, The DSM IV are following up with this limited edition, vinyl only EP âNegative Utopiaâ. Formed by Guy McKnight of the critically acclaimed and cult favourite The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The DSM IV has a dark sound that blends hypnotic noise-rock with synth-pop industrial aesthetics. "Negative Utopia" features six more synth-pop-acid-house-goth-rock-new-wave bangers. The A-Side consists of three new songs by the band. Meanwhile on the B-Side there are remixes of two tracks from New Age Paranoia (âRacist Manâ and âPennywiseâ) plus a cover of Joy Divisionâs iconic âIsolationâ.Shimmering synth lines meet heavy guitar riffs in a kaleidoscopic sonic sound space where McKnightâs shamanic vocal acts as a guiding force. This EP, like their debut album, demonstrates that THE DSM IV are a band with a social conscience and are unafraid to speak truth to power on matters of injustice. Their music is a reflection of the what is around them, it grapples with the consequences of a cruel and unjust planet with an optimism and belief that a better world is possible.
