Australian noise-rock band Placement releases their debut album Insect.
On their long-awaited debut album, Placement shares their unfiltered thoughts on morality, decay, and existential doom with narrative-style vocals and heavy instrumentals. Insect slithers underneath the surface level into the darkness that most ignore.
The final single and title track ‘Insect’ reflects on the painful moment of losing a beloved pet and the stark realization of death’s fragile loneliness. Vocalist Malia Wearn shares the following about ‘Insect’:
“I had a cat called Cash. He was hard to live with, stinky, wild, murderous and uncontainable. He would disappear sometimes for days and we would wonder if he would one day disappear forever. But I found him straight away that morning, draped across the pavement. I had to wait for a car to pass between us before I could reach him. Did they see him as they sped past, one of the many insects crushed on the road, drawn to the light, to the furnace. How long did he lie there in a halo of streetlight, just outside the cemetery gates? He had jaws that bit and teeth that caught, an insect like me.”
