Pharmakon and Puce Mary’s work have always had strong feminist overtones, and it’s weird to me that the fashy noise bro set never picked up on that until both of them started beating listeners over the head with progressive feminism.

When Devour came out, I saw people saying “I can’t believe Pharmakon is a feminist now. Let’s hope Puce Mary doesn’t follow suit”…and it’s like…did y’all dumbasses not even listen to The Drought? “To Possess is to be in Control” is a really painful, grim reinterpretation of Kate Bush’s “Running up that Hill” - wanting to be in a man’s body, in a man’s position of power, wanting to know what it feels like to never worry.

Both albums are ruminations on what it means to be a woman in a world that shows very little but hostility towards women. These themes existed in their music long before either album came out, but considering that our current political climate is so fucked (both in the US and globally), the messages got more blunt, more straight to the point, more cutthroat.

This is generally why I think women in noise have the most complex messages to convey in their music - patriarchal oppression is complex and calls for artistic interpretations with complex executions. Lingua Ignota wails about domestic violence, Ritual Chair screams about rape and sexual exploitation, Moor Mother spits poetry about what it means to be “black, female, and gay in America”. Uboa’s work is mostly about being a trans woman and battling mental illness. Even with older artists - Cosey Fanni Tutti, Mayuko Hino, Master/Slave Relationship, Suckdog - themes of patriarchy and oppression surface repeatedly.

Ignoring feminist messages in the noise women make is either a blatant dismissal of their intent or even a dismissal of their talent, or it just shows that the men listening have a habit of not paying attention to lyrics. It’s probably a mixture of both. “Pretty blond girl with big boobs make MS-20 go brrrrrrrr” is probably what their brains get stuck on, and it’s only when the voices of female noise artists get loud enough to where they can’t be ignored that these men start to feel uncomfortable.

Discomfort is the goal, though. Noise is all about discomfort. Nobody goes to a noise show to feel warm and safe. They go there to have their ears blown out and their perceptions challenged. Discomfort is okay when it’s a white dude in a ski mask screaming about serial killers or dictators. It’s not-so-okay when a former sorority girl is clinking knives together and recounting how she was raped by an ex-boyfriend at a frat party. It’s not okay when a queer black woman screams “fuck you” at them, especially when some are singled out in the crowd.

It’s not okay when the pain and ugliness men inflict on the world is narrowed down into a very thin, wiry channel of consciousness and used as a lightning rod by women to strike back at them.
