2018 release from the Athens, Georgia-based indie band led by Kevin Barnes. “Two important events occurred during the making of White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood. I became “Simulated Reality” paranoid and I fell in love. I feel like a switch was recently turned on in my brain and now I’m beginning to see through the lies that have been fed to me my whole life by the masters of media and by those who control and manipulate the narrative of our cultural identity and social order. I’m always searching for new identities so this concept of the death of Whiteness appeals to me greatly. Might be the only way to save the world.” -Kevin Barnes, January 2018.
