Seven musings on death, the afterlife, communication and the musicality of the non-musical, 'Polycrisis Apparitions' is the latest release from Misery Bacon.

Misery Bacon is a solo audio project by Luke Drozd, an artist, illustrator and musician based in Bergen, Norway. Following on from 2025's 'Turning in the widening gyre', a release that unspooled over two longform tracks filled with serrated drones, distorted noise and harsh blown-out samples, 'Polycrisis Apparitions' pulls back slightly, offering something slightly closer to songs and perhaps offering a slightly easier listen as a result. Comprised of seven shorter works, the album is pieced together from a series of field-recordings, played sounds and manipulated found audio sources. Old language records and cassettes, hydrophone recordings, past-life regression videos, mangled sermons and the clicks and whirrs of a failing CD player all form part of this collection of textural collages.

Recorded and assembled on residency at Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) and Leveld Kunstnartun AiR, Norway 2025
