Taxidermy‘s You Are Here Now is a relentless, brooding descent into noise rock catharsis. Channeling the nervy dissonance of Slint, the ferocity of Helmet, and the haunted beauty of post-punk, the Copenhagen band crafts a piece that is at once brutal and mesmerizing. With ghostly violins and flutes weaving through chaotic guitars and skronky rhythms, the track is an architectural storm—sharp, calculated, and unflinchingly honest.
Lyrically, it’s a bleak reflection on love, alienation, and the cycles of self-destruction—“a weakened and darkened mind,” as frontman Osvald Reinhold puts it. There’s no resolution here, only a brutally beautiful unraveling. You Are Here Now doesn’t just hit hard—it lingers, a howl from the ruins of connection.
