about

Libythth’s second full length on Phthalo starts like a baseball game for some reason with the stupid US national anthem, blaringly loud and overmodulated. This could be taken as a kind of murky political statement considering the album’s late 2001 release and a title denoting vaguely enormous amount of money but it was more likely an ill advised challenge for the listener to remain standing in forced patriotic reverence for two and a half minutes before the actual songs start.

Heavy fuzz and distortion abound in sharp toothed abundance creating a crunchy moribund atmosphere. Recognizable instruments like guitar, piano and organ hold hands with their ugly synthetic friends. With this album Libythth firmly establishes itself as some oddball novelty thing destined for everlasting musical purgatory.

Here is the rambling text from the CD liner notes:

the world is decaying rot and there's borbid toxic disease and the gov't is not care because they are fascist who want to kill and mutilate starving animals and nonconformist. And all they want is to brainwash you with TV and now theres this internet which is to control popular culture and own people like money in huge vault in their mansion and thats all they care about is business thats why we play synthesizer and make noise experiment that nobody like them would want to hear because they are our enemy and we know about their plan to rule our brain and take money away. So if we hit fake electronic drums loud enough they get so scared they will just give us free money which we should get anyway because of free speech.And then theres another world war and terrorists taske over USA with former soviet nuclear weapons and chemicals weapons and theres people running down the street with their skin melting and kill old people for canned goods and gasoline we will be ready because we have synthesizer noise playing and we'll say "go fuck yourself in hell and eat poison shit and die because you suck !!"

about

Libythth Los Angeles, California

Libythth was bornt in 1993 from a grim and frothy pool of unpleasant synth patches.

The profound impact Libythth had on electronic music is purely theoretical and the full prunt of its influence on countless nonexistent artists cannot be measured by any stick.

We occupy an inaccessible hidden level and you probably shouldn’t be here.

We are unbeknownstmost.
