IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE
YATSU “It Can’t Happen Here” Churns out 17 unhinged tracks in a mere 23 minutes.Taking it’s ponderous title from the Sinclair Lewis novel (without further confluences with it), the phrase “it can’t happen here” speaks to the delusion of the United States as a whole being an impenetrable stronghold and could never decline. Drawing from the same source, the grating and violent, bulldozing sonics harness further weight from the all-encompassing themes that delvein current topics such as gun violence, false allyship, systemic racism,and political apathy to name but a few angles, together with the music providing a pervasive and firm backdrop to modern downfall.
